As many of you know, Go North East has confirmed a series of strikes on the following dates:
Saturday 30 September – Friday 6 October inclusive
Saturday 14 October – Friday 20 October inclusive
The Gateshead depot is affected.
Go North East anticipate that very few of its bus services across Gateshead will run. They are therefore advising customers to make alternative travel arrangements.
It is important, and your duty, to do everything that you can to get your child to school. Attendance is important in all schools, but as you know in our setting missed days mean that students miss big chunks the wider story of their learning expeditions.
Passes for buses and children’s nexus tickets will be accepted on the Metro where this is a viable option.
If you are encountering problems in arranging for your child to get to school, please do reach out to our Families Group on Facebook, we have a very supportive community and we know that other families will offer to help where they can.
Thanks for your support.
