North Lanarkshire Council's binmen will become bus drivers as the crisis involving pupil’s transport to school deepens.
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), who’s responsible for organising both North and South Lanarkshire council’s school transport contracts, told both councils on Tuesday that they have not been able to “organise buses” on a number of routes.
That meant pupils across North Lanarkshire did not have their usual pick-up on buses for the new school term and continued on for the rest of the week.
