BUS passengers are warned to expect long delays in York this afternoon.

A spokesperson for First York said: "We are experiencing major problems across our bus network this evening with large amounts of traffic around the city-centre causing delays to most of our bus services.

"Our controllers and supervisors are working extremely hard to regulate buses back on to schedule."

There are delays of at least 15 minutes on all routes. Park&Ride Service 3 is running 25 minutes late, while Number 66 buses are half an hour late and Number 7s are 45 minutes late. 

The delays are due in part to a crash between a car and a cyclist in Museum Street this afternoon.
