The late announcement affected 26 primary and secondary schools on 40 routes in North Lanarkshire.
A number of school bus routes in North Lanarkshire were cancelled the night before local children returned to school on Wednesday.Strathclyde Partnership for Transport , who organise contracts for North Lanarkshire Council, failed to find drivers for more than 40 routes.North Lanarkshire Council said SPT only informed the council of the issue on Tuesday and branded it "wholly unacceptable.
SPT said a number of bus operators had declined a number of approved and awarded contracts at short notice in North and South Lanarkshire.Steven McGeever, a father of two from Gartcosh said: "We've been attempting to find out the school bus timetable information from SPT since before the summer break.
"Last night we started to hear from other parents that some had received emails stating that the school buses wouldn't run. "Today I've learned from the contractor named on our letter from SPT that they have not been contracted to run the service and have no intention of doing so. "We have a child at primary and one at secondary in Cumbernauld and as we both work full time, it's going to be very challenging managing drop offs and picks ups at such short notice.
