Contingency cover is currently being explored and it’s hoped that this will be in place as soon as possible. Until this has been secured however parents are being asked to plan ahead with their own transport arrangements for the forthcoming days/remainder of this week.
Parents can liaise with schools and also be directed to the EA website where under the tab ‘Transport Updates’ regular updates on any disrupted routes are provided. For further information, parents are encouraged to visit the ‘Show Bus Route’ page which provides a detailed layout of all our routes including departure/arrival points, expected times and estimated journey length.
NOTE – Translink bus services including Ulsterbus, Metro, Goldliner and Gilder will be non-operation during the planned period of industrial action. Pupils who connect with a Translink bus service via an Education Authority (EA) yellow bus should not commence their journey on the EA bus, even if it is running. EA cannot guarantee pupils would be able to complete their journey, so parents should make alternative arrangements for the whole of their child’s journey to and from school.
We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding while we deal with this issue.
