Bristol First Bus strikes start today - here's the full list of routes affected

Some 600 bus drivers at First West of England’s City Line and will be striking from today (September 16) to September 19, causing severe disruption to services in inner-city Bristol and the surrounding area.

The drivers, members of Unite, operate out of the Lawrence Hill and Hengrove Bus depots. These depots serve inner-city bus routes in the city as well as Bristol Airport, the local universities and Amazon's Bristol warehouse.

The previous scheduled industrial action(September 4 to 8) was suspended to allow Unite members to be balloted on a new pay offer, after drivers previously rejected a two-year pay deal, However, members have now voted to reject the latest offer from First West of England.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "First Group is a very profitable company and can afford to come back with an improved offer that is acceptable to our bus drivers.

"Unite will fully support our members throughout their strike action, which has been caused by the employer putting profits over people."

The planned strikes this week (September 16 to 19) by 400 drivers at First West of England's Badgerline working at the Bristol Marlborough Street, Bath, Wells and Weston-Super-Mare depots have been called off after members voted to accept an improved pay offer from the company.
