Driver shortages continue to cause travel disruption in Aberdeen as First Bus has released a list of all service that will be cancelled in Aberdeen on Monday.
The updated list follows several days of cancellations to journeys in and around the city.
While the company has assured travellers they are working as hard as possible to keep many services running, it is not clear when services will return to normal.
It appears 164 of the company’s journeys will be affected today.
First Bus has listed journeys being cancelled on its website affected the following routes: 1/2, 1B, 3/3A, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17/18, 19, 23, 172, X27.
Customers have been encouraged to check the First Bus app before they travel and have been asked to remain patient with the team of drivers.
It is expected the cancellations will affect patients travelling for appointments.
NHS Grampian have asked patients who are unable to travel to hospital appointments because of the cancellations to give them a call to reschedule.
Bus disruption update – We're aware patients may have intended to travel to hospital appointments by bus today (18th July). If you're unable to attend due to cancellations, please call the number on your appointment letter to rearrange a suitable date.

It is understood that the shortage in drivers is not illness related and is due to the “current national driver shortage”.
