In a statement, Stagecoach officials said despite their best efforts in keeping services on schedule, increasing staff absences has forced them to make some changes.
A spokeswoman said: “As is the case with other transport operators and many other organisations, we are seeing a continuing impact on our staffing levels as a result of the pandemic.
“Our teams are working very hard to continue running our planned services for customers. However due to the increasing numbers of employees impacted by the virus, we may not be able to run every service as planned and there may be some changes to services.
“Where this is the case, we will ensure customers are updated through our customer channels with as much notice as possible.”
