Amalfi Buses Disruptions?
Friends just returned from Italy said they wanted to take the world-famous Amalfi Coast buses from Salerno to Positano via a change of buses in Amalfi. But when they got to Amalfi they found no buses to Postianto for some reason - well they were told there was some round about two-hour bus detour they could do but the coastal buses were disrupted.
Anyone know why and if this is a recurrent problem for a while. Would affect advice to take the train to Salerno and not Sorrento and hopping the buses from there to Postiano (boats run in season I guess too) - but if taking the bus best to ask at the start rather than get stuck midway!
Any updates appreciated.

There was a landslide a few days ago.

It's unlikely that a strike would affect just one route.

While a strike typically wouldn't affect one route, I've experienced strikes starting a certain times of day. You could take your first bus without a problem and then a strike start at 1 pm or so and your connecting bus is part of the strike.

The road between Sorrento and Positano is partially closed currently due to a landslide. Cars are alternately using the one open lane but the SITA buses are not running or may be running on a limited schedule.

Thanks ekc. If you hear any more I'd appreciate you're posting updates. I will be in Sorrento the last week in March (so just over a month from now) and was planning on taking the bus to Amalfi a couple of times.
