I acknowledge that there may well be other factors not within the public domain, which are causing this impasse, but I hope for all concerned, this gets sorted out soon.

Well the head of Arriva Merseyside appeared on the news last night and said "This is the best offer we can afford" and the union rep appeared and said "We won't accept anything less than 3% with immediate effect." IIRC the offer is an increase of 2.6% now and an increase to 3% above the current wage in 6 months time.
