We will be cautiously (but hopefully irreversibly) reducing restrictions around seated capacity on our buses from next Monday 17 May in line with the roadmap to hopeful normality (whatever that is!). Full details announced today. All part of safely getting everyone #BACKtoBUS.

I've also heard that First Oldham are increasing seating capacity to 80% from next Monday.

Does anybody know whether any other operators are planning on increasing seating capacity from next Monday? I've heard that some office workers are going back to working from offices from next week so additional capacity will probably be needed.

I believe capacity increases are on the cards for Arriva from a tweet that I saw from one of the Arriva subsidiaries outside of the North West, but it's best to wait and see as it's down to government guidelines. I can't be certain of the other operators though here
