Metroline, operator of 13.5% of the bus network is having a general strike tomorrow. Thorpes services and Armchair will not.
sorry if this is not appropriate for the forum but this is a major bit of transport infrastructure eradicated. The northern line will be very full as many routes operated by Metroline operate along the Northern's route.
these routes are affected:
4 6 16 17 24 32 43 46 52 82 84 84X 90 98 107 113 134 139 140 143 182 186 189 204 205 206 214 217 231 232 234 240 245 251 260 263 266 271 274 297 302 316 384 390 460 603 611 626 632 634 640 643 C2 H12 W5 W7 W8 W9; Night Routes N5 N16 N20 N52 N98:
the strike is related to pay and the union is the TGWU. There are going to be further strikes on Monday and the Monday after that.

Pity that neither the union nor the company seem to have learned the lesson of the 1958 strike.
