The changes will be introduced on Sunday, October 24, and will impact a number of routes in the city.

A spokesperson for Stagecach East said: “We are constantly looking for ways to update and improve our bus network across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. As with many industries, we are facing a staffing situation that is out of our control due to external factors. Our team are doing a fantastic job in the circumstances, and we are working hard to get the new drivers who are in our training pipeline on the road as soon as possible. We would like to thank all of our passengers for their patience as we deal with this. As a result, we are looking at making some changes to our timetable from Sunday 24 October to enhance the reliability of our services.
