BUS passengers travelling home from work will be delayed as reduced services continue to operate across the borough following heavy snowfall.

Stagecoach bosses’ decision to reduce the frequency of services by half will mean commuters will have to wait for up to twice as long for a bus.

Out-of town services are operating again after they were stopped this morning in the aftermath of the severe weather conditions, although services to Alton are still not running.

Basingstoke Stagecoach operations manager Bob Jackson said: “If we get a large congregation of people at rush-hour we will look at laying on more buses.”
