People stand with Arriva drivers despite being 'stranded' in strike

People across Merseyside are "struggling" to get to and from work and appointments as they are "stranded" due to Arriva strikes.

Arriva previously 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. It comes after talks between Arriva and the Unite and GMB unions failed to reach an agreement over pay.

This means 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.
