Passengers planning on using public transport in Merseyside today will have been hit by disruption due to two sets of strikes.
Both Arriva and National rail strike action is taking place on Wednesday, July 27, meaning there will be none of the major operator's services available anywhere across the region. Workers for Arriva have been on strike since Wednesday, July 20, after talks between Arriva and the Unite and GMB unions failed to reach an agreement over pay.
The bus company has confirmed that while workers strike, no services will be able to run across the region. The action means there are also no services in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or Cheshire, except for local Macclesfield services which will all run with the exception of service 38.
