Bus strikes in Sunderland have been suspended while union members consider a new pay deal.
Stagecoach bus drivers in the city were set to strike during the Christmas period in a row over pay. The bus operator said drivers would hold 10 days of strike action in November and December as part of an ongoing pay dispute.
The planned walkouts were set to cause disruption to passengers over the festive season, with drivers set to strike on: November 5, November 15 to 19, December 23 and 24, and December 26 to December 27.
