Revised timetables for the 878 and 879 AM service have been issued by Nexus. From MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25TH please follow this timetable. You may find it helpful to look at the route maps for the revised services.
POTENTIAL STRIKE ACTION
 

The trade union representing drivers at Go North East has announced strike action for weeks commencing 30 September and 14 October 2023. Should these strikes go ahead, this may affect the following Cardinal Hume Scholars’ services:

878

880 afternoon service

881

Further talks involving ACAS are to take place and it is hoped the strikes can be averted.  We will inform parents as soon as plans are confirmed by Nexus, but in the meantime families may wish to consider their own contingency arrangements.
