The 403 bus service run by Arriva in Welwyn Garden City will be experiencing cuts due to staff shortages, investigations reveal.
The bus service currently runs two services an hour connecting residents to schools, doctors and The New QEII Hospital, and is the only service available for residents in Haldens Ward, with no buses running on Sunday.

A spokesperson from Arriva said: "We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause.
"Unfortunately, operational changes need to be made to run a more reliable service. Due to the shortage of staff, we are reducing our services across multiple routes."
