Picket lines and parked up buses were on show at Arriva's main depot in Liverpool today as the first day of a major, continuous strike got underway.
A large demonstration was in place at the Arriva city headquarters in Green Lane, Old Swan. Strikers carrying Unite and GMB union signs could be seen in front of rows of parked buses.
The dispute means that there will be no Arriva buses running throughout Merseyside today. As this is a continuous strike, that will be the case for all subsequent days until a resolution is found between the company and the unions. Talks over a pay deal broke down last week.
