Unite the union announced on 29 September that strike action will go ahead on Metroline buses in Greater Manchester. Bus strikes to hit ManchesterManchester mayor Andy Burnham originally announced that the strikes wouldn’t go ahead.

This could potentially involve Metroline, First and Stagecoach drivers, causing delays and cancellations across Greater Manchester.
