Hundreds of bus drivers in the West of England are to stage a month-long strike over pay, with a union warning it will hit those travelling to the Cheltenham Festival.
Members of Unite employed by Stagecoach West throughout Gloucestershire and Wiltshire will launch industrial action from March 10, a few days before the race meeting starts.
Unite said it is pressing for a pay rise in line with the current RPI inflation rate of 7.8%.
