People are warning of "absolute chaos" as all Arriva buses in Merseyside will not run from today and for the foreseeable future as a continuous strikes begin.
Arriva has confirmed they will not be able to run any services across the region from 2am on Wednesday, July 20, when the continuous walk-out gets underway. The action comes after talks between Arriva and the Unite and GMB unions failed to reach an agreement over pay.
There will be no planned Arriva bus services operating within Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire or Cheshire, except for local Macclesfield services which will all run with the exception of service 38. For the duration of the industrial action journey planning in the north west region on the Arriva website and Arriva UK Bus App will be disabled.
