Industrial action in Doncaster

Keeping you moving during the industrial action 

On  29th April and 6th May, our Doncaster services will be disrupted by industrial action. This will mean most services will run at a limited frequency, and regrettably, some services may not operate.

We’re committed to keeping you moving during the industrial action. For any questions or to find out more about our limited services, see the FAQs at the bottom of this page.

We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause, especially to those customers whose services will not be running on the 29th April and 6th May.
