First Potteries increase service as country begins lockdown exit

First potteries have announced that they will be increasing bus frequency as the country begins to exit lockdown. People are still encouraged to consider all other forms of transport before public transport and to wear face coverings on busses and trains where social distancing isn’t possible. With more businesses set to open over the next two weeks first potteries have restored a number of services to allow more people to travel as busses are only filling 1 in 4 seats to allow social distancing to be adhered to.
