As the UK\u2019s third lockdown takes effect, transport operators are cancelling services wholesale rather than lose millions by running them with few passengers.<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s biggest budget airline, Ryanair, blames \u201cthe newly announced Covid lockdowns in Ireland, the UK, and a small number of other EU countries this week\u201d for another slump in passengers.<\/p>\n

The carrier expects passenger numbers in January to fall to 40,000 per day, one-10th of its normal numbers \u2013 and says Covid restrictions could also reduce February and March traffic to as few as 500,000 passengers each month.<\/p>\n

In response, Ryanair says it will \u201csignificantly cut\u201d its flight schedules from Thursday 21 January, with \u201cfew, if any, flights being operated to\/from Ireland or the UK \u2026 until such time as these draconian travel restrictions are removed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Affected passengers are being told today, the airline says. They are entitled to a full refund.<\/p>\n

A Ryanair spokesperson said: \u201cVaccinations rather than lockdowns is the way out of this Covid-19 crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Express, the leading coach operator in the UK, is to cancel all its services from Monday 11 January onwards. <\/p>\n

The managing director, Chris Hardy, said: \u201cWe have been providing an important service for essential travel needs. However, with tighter restrictions and passenger numbers falling, it is no longer appropriate to do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the vaccination programme is rolled out and government guidance changes, we will regularly review when we can restart services. We plan to be back on the road as soon as the time is right.\u201d<\/p>\n

All journeys before Monday will be completed to ensure passengers are not stranded. People whose travel has been cancelled will be contacted and offered a free amendment or refund.<\/p>\n

The provisional restart day is 1 March.<\/p>\n

The same date applies for Grand Central rail services on the East Coast main line.<\/p>\n

The \u201copen access\u201d train operator, which receives no government subsidy, is suspending services from Saturday, 9 January to 28 February inclusive.<\/p>\n
