Arriva buses remain out of operation across Merseyside as the drivers strike continues.
On August 1, Arriva met with officials from Unite and GMB - the unions representing workers in this dispute - for talks, but once again no agreement was reached as those talks broke down. This week marks the third week of continuous strikes.
Last week the ECHO headed down to the Arriva picket line in St Helens to speak with drivers for their views and reasons for striking.
