"Londoners are bracing for a weekend of travel disruption, with some bus strikes expected to still go ahead across the weekend following disputes over pay. Bus drivers, engineers and controllers working across 60 bus routes around London were expected to launch strike action between Friday and Sunday this weekend amid discussions over pay and working conditions."
"Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and the above-inflation offer, which includes full back pay for all colleagues, demonstrates our commitment to supporting our people through the ongoing cost-of-living pressures while balancing the financial challenges we face as a business."
"If no agreement is announced, it's expected that some bus routes around North Finchley, Aldwych, Camden Town and Ladbroke Grove may still be impacted this weekend. The bus routes in question are: 13/N13, 23/N23, 31/N31, 218, 295/N295 and 452. Passengers that rely on these services are encouraged to plan their journeys ahead or consider an alternative route to avoid disruption."
