Bus Strike? - MX12CFE - 26/06/2012 06:42
Hi all anyone know if any bus operators are on strike in merseyside tomorrow? As when i was getting off the 78 in town this morning a passenger asked the driver were they running tomorrow and the driver said as far as he knows arriva are running a normal service tomorrow and its stagecoach who are not running?

What will happen with there routes will merseytravel get other firms to run it for the day

Last time they brought in drivers from other areas, I would imagine that will happen this time unless of course other stagecoach areas are also on strike.

What is this strike about
I know there is one in London with Stagecoach and first over the Olympic Bid but what's merseyside one over

Stagecoach are sending staff from other companies to help cover the strike. Some of Manchester's inspectors are going over to help cover. Oddly there is nothing on the Stagecoach or Merseytravel websites about it.

Wounder if any odd buses will be in service from other areas last time there was a couple of Enviro400's on the 14 was there not

Don't think so, as far as I know Gillmoss used their own buses last time, although last time I didnt use the 14 so I could be wrong.
