London bus strike partly called off this weekend – but some routes still affected
What we know about the London bus strike this weekend
- The Unite union has largely called off a planned London bus strike that was scheduled to begin on Friday, 12 September, and continue through the weekend.
- The industrial action involved drivers, engineers, and controllers from London United and London Transit, who were disputing pay and conditions.
- The decision to call off the strike followed the majority of London United staff accepting an "above-inflation" pay offer from First Bus, the operators' parent company.
- Ongoing negotiations with London Transit mean some industrial action could still proceed on specific routes if an agreement is not reached.
- Transport for London confirmed that services operated by First Bus would run as normal, following a week of significant disruption from Tube strikes.
