FIRST Bus has cancelled services across the city for the second day in a row amid nationwide driver shortages.

The company has urged passengers not to take "any issues" out on drivers operating other services.

The firm said: "Due to the current national driver shortage which is affecting all sectors, the following journeys are not expected to operate.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please do not take any issues out on our team who are at work and operating our other journeys – it's not their fault. They, like everyone else, are trying their best to operate as good a service as possible.

Please keep checking back for updates, as some journeys that are currently listed as cancelled may be reinstated at short notice."
