Hundreds of Manchester bus drivers to strike tomorrow as 'pay rise vital for families to survive'

More than 300 bus drivers based in Wythenshawe and Bolton are due to strike on Wednesday. The strike over pay comes as Unite the union warns staff are struggling with the cost of living - and describe the walk-outs as a 'last resort'.

In total, more than 1,800 Arriva workers are due to walk out of depots in Manchester and Merseyside. Passengers are warned this will impact services. In Greater Manchester, those routes most at risk are between Wythenshawe and the city centre and Bolton and the city centre. In this region, more than 300 drivers are due to be involved.

The Manchester Evening News has asked for more detail on those services affected and we will share this with passengers when we can.
