BUS users have been warned of forthcoming changes to services.

Arriva Buses Wales has said that the details are still "being finalised" - but due to coronavirus the company has had to reduce the frequency of some services and introduce "emergency timetables".

The changes will come into effect on Monday and follow the announcement of school closures from the end of this week.

A spokesman said: "We will still be operating our key routes to ensure customers can continue to access critical services, and we are continuing to tailor our service changes in line with ongoing advice from the government and public health bodies.

"Customers will be made aware of any ongoing service changes via our social media channels or website here: www.arrivabus.co.uk/coronavirus."

The affected services and new timetables have not yet been listed for Wales, but the company has asked visitors to its website to check again soon.

In a statement on the Arriva's website, a spokesman said: "We continue to have dedicated teams in place across all areas of Arriva UK Bus who are monitoring this fast-evolving situation very closely.

"For now, the current Government advice is that people can continue to use buses and other forms of public transport as they go about their lives.

"The health and wellbeing of our customers and employees remains our primary concern.

"We already have extensive cleaning regimes in place that maintain high levels of hygiene and we are enhancing them to concentrate on specific touch-points on both our vehicles and our premises.

"We will continue to engage with the advice from the Government and public health bodies and introduce any additional measures that are recommended or required.

"Government and public health body advice continues to be that the most effective measure that people can take to protect themselves and others from the virus is to regularly wash their hands for 20 seconds with soap and water, or use a hand sanitiser gel if soap and water isn’t available.

"We have issued detailed and regular reminders to our own teams about hygiene good practice and the importance of hand washing and we know that our customers will also be following this advice."
