Revisions to Andover bus services

Changes to Andover bus service

Stagecoach have shared that due to staff sickness and due to the fact that a number of their team are currently self isolating, that unfortunately they are having to run a reduced level of service on the Andover network. You are allowed to travel in Tier 4 for essential reasons such as work, childcare or other medical reasons. Advice on the Government website advises people to continue to follow Covid safety guidelines such as wearing face masks.
