| I have received notification from the First Bus UK press office of industrial action on Citylines services – Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th September Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in the West of England, said: “We are pleased to hear that our Badgerline colleagues have voted to accept our full and final pay offer, which has resulted in them calling off their planned strikes and helped reduce disruption to customers. “However, we are disappointed to be told that our Citylines colleagues have rejected the pay offer, and therefore their planned strikes for four days from Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th September inclusive will go ahead. We have put together revised timetables to reflect the much lower level of service that we will be able to operate on these days. Details of these will shortly be available on our website, and we advise customers to check for updates before travelling. “While this was our full and final pay offer, we still hope to find a solution with the trade union, which encourages them to call off these disruptive strikes. |
