Arriva North West & Stagecoach Gillmoss Strike action

As i have already mentioned Stagecoach Gillmoss have voted for strike.

EDIT: Corrected information
i can confirm Arriva North West have voted for strike by 81 Percent, As it stands there is no set Strike date. (Unite Union), The GMB Union results are due in a couple of days.

I have now been told Arriva are to strike on October 19th, 23rd and 30th.

A statement was posted by Arriva on their Facebook Page saying there is possible strike action ahead, just gone to put it on here to notice its been removed!

Arriva have confirmed the strike dates on their Facebook, for those who dont have Facebook here is the full statement

Notice of potential industrial action affecting Arriva buses in North West England. Phil Stone, Regional Managing Director has said: “We can confirm that UNITE and GMB have balloted for strike action over pay. The potential strike dates have been confirmed as 19th, 23rd and 30th October 2017. “However there is a further meeting planned next week with our union colleagues to have further dialogue over the outcome of this vote and to try and reach an agreement that benefits everybody.” wrote:

Stagecoach strike dates are same as Arriva plus the 14th October

I'm surprised Northern aren't accepting tickets for reasonable routes given they are an Arriva company - probably too difficult to check. Rail tickets are usually accepted on equivalent Arriva bus routes when the trains are on strike so it seems a bit strange it can'work the other way around.

From arriva :
Arriva bus update - students traveling from Platt Bridge should catch the 777.

There will be a replacement bus service for the 320 bus, this service will take students to and from school, there is no charge for this service. The replacement bus will depart from Blackbrook on Vicarage Road at 7:45 a.m. (this will be operated by Diamond and will still be numbered as the 320 bus). The bus will depart Byrchall High School at 3:10 p.m.

Once again, apologies for the short notice, we were only notified of the strike action this morning.

Seems a fair few Drivers at Winsford and Macc are out on the road
