Disruption status information
Most long-distance travel services have now returned to their full timetable. Some services may continue to operate with minor timetable alterations due to union protected industrial action.
Where possible, we’re providing replacement coach services to support customers. For more information, you can keep up to date via our
Service updates page, or give our friendly team a call on 1800 872 467
Thank you for your patience while we work through these impacts.
