A BUS company has suspended all of its services after a member of staff tested positive for the virus, it has been announced.

Drivers of The Big Lemon buses were told to complete their current trips before returning to the depot for a coronavirus test yesterday.

Vehicles and offices will also be deep-cleaned and fogged as a safety precaution, in a process that is expected to last a number of days.

As a result, there will be no services until the process has been completed.

A spokesman for The Big Lemon said: "One of our team has sadly tested positive for Coronavirus. We have been clear from the beginning that the safety and wellbeing of our staff and our passengers is the most important thing for us.

"We will not run any services until this process has been completed. This means no services for the rest of today and no services tomorrow.

"We are hoping to run at least a limited service on Thursday and by Friday we hope to be back to normal.

"We apologise to all our passengers affected and ask that anyone who is stuck as a result of the buses not running please call the office on 01273 681681 and we will book a taxi for you."
