Passenger Transport Services (PTS) will not operate tomorrow, Friday 9 January 2026, due to weather warnings issued for the area.
The decision was made this afternoon, with the service saying it wanted to give families and service users clear notice rather than waiting until severe weather conditions arrive.
PTS said the suspension is to ensure the safety of both passengers and staff, as snow or ice can make it difficult for school minibuses and taxis to operate safely.
The service has advised families to check its daily update webpage for the latest information on whether PTS is running. This page will be kept updated once decisions are made for each day.
Anyone needing further information can contact Passenger Transport Services using the following numbers:
Home to school taxis: 01274 436692
Minibus services for children or adults: 01274 438889
Adult or looked-after children services: 01274 437275
