A bus carrying children got stuck amid Storm Bram, causing panic among parents. The incident occurred on Portaferry Road in County Down, Northern Ireland. Concerned parents took to social media seeking information from Translink, the country’s primary transport operator, as their children reported being stranded for two hours near Newtownards by Strangford Lough.
Allegedly, when parents contacted Translink, the organization was unaware of the situation. Following complaints, a Translink representative advised parents to have the children ask the driver for updates. Storm Bram has wreaked havoc in the UK, with reports of multiple incidents.
