Bus services across Greater Manchester will be disrupted later this week following confirmation that staff from two operators, Stagecoach and Metroline, will go ahead with further planned strikes.
Unite the Union has confirmed that drivers at First have called off further action after voting to accept a revised pay offer. However, both Stagecoach and Metroline staff have opted to proceed with strike action on Friday 10 October, Saturday 11 October and Monday 13 October.
It means around 190 services, including some dedicated school buses, will not run on strike days. Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is advising everyone to check before they travel and allow extra time to make their journey
Bus services in Tameside, Trafford and Stockport are not expected to run and some services in south Manchester and parts of the city centre will also be impacted.
Many local services in Rochdale will run as normal but some of those which operate longer journeys will not run.
In the main, many bus services will continue to run as usual. This includes services such as the Free Bus in Manchester city centre, as well as the majority of buses in Bolton, Bury, Salford, and Wigan.
