The political leaders of the Liverpool City Region have called on Arriva bosses to act urgently and end the long-running bus strike across the region.
On the 23rd day of continuous strikes across the Arriva network, Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram, Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson and council leaders and Members of Parliament from across the region have come together in a joint call for action from the major bus operator that will end the strike and get buses back on the streets of Merseyside.
It is a significant intervention and a sign of how crucial the impact of the ongoing strikes are seen. Many in the region are effectively without access to public transport at present, with no Arriva buses available across the entire region.
