Arriva apologises for more delays with drivers not turning up

In a statement issued by Arriva this morning it said that “disappointingly, a number of drivers who were scheduled to drive today have failed to report for duty. However, from early this morning a large number of drivers have been called in to cover, and we have more British drivers starting work today, which means services should improve as the day progresses.”

“The X1, X2, 11, 12 and 13, and services to Marsaxlokk and Birzebbuga are delayed – this should be alleviated this morning. Earlier this morning there were also delays on routes 51 and 71, where we have been working to ease congestion,” the company said.

Arriva concluded, “We apologise to those passengers who have been affected. We are grateful for your patience and would like to assure you that we are making our best efforts to provide a service for all areas.”
