Stagecoach Strike Action

The branch of Unite which represents drivers at Barnsley and Rawmarsh depots have announced 4 days of strike action in a dispute over pay rates.

These will be held on 18th November, 21st November, 2nd December and 3rd December and affect routes from Barnsley and Rawmarsh depots only.

Stagecoach are drafting extra drivers from around the country so that the majority of services can continue to run to a near-normal schedule as below.  A £1 flat fare will be charged.
