Nexus and bus operators are working hard to make sure that parents and guardians can have confidence when pupils need to travel by public transport to and from schools.

They are providing extra vehicles and drivers across Tyne and Wear, following familiar routes with the highest demand, to improve social distancing and ensure children can get to and from school safely.  

Please refer to the attached press release (August 25th) which outlines the steps they are taking, and general advice to families can be found at www.nexus.org.uk/covid-secure.
