Stagecoach bus services cancelled across Yorkshire in New Year as drivers go on indefinite strike

Stagecoach Yorkshire has confirmed bus drivers will take indefinite strike action in the New Year due to an ongoing pay dispute.

From January 1, 2022, a large number of bus services in Barnsley, Rotherham, Dearne Valley, and West Yorkshire will be cancelled.

Meanwhile, the strike will impact bus timetables in Sheffield from January 2, 2022.

Stagecoach stated that most services will not be running from these dates, with the exception of dedicated school buses.

In Sheffield, a limited service on a small number of routes will continue to run, with the timetable yet to be announced.

The company urged people to make alternative travel arrangements during this time.

“We have worked very hard to avoid this action and are extremely sorry for the disruption this will cause,” a spokesperson stated.

The services below are operated by other depots and therefore will not be included in the strike action and will run as normal.
