Bus Drivers Still Fighting For Fair Pay - 16 Years Later
In 2009, Manchester bus drivers went on strike after their company prioritised shareholder dividends over staff pay.
16 years later, in 2025, they’re back on the picket line - fighting the same battle.

Bus strike in London partially cancelled after pay deal accepted by some workers killbait.com/en/bus-strik... #currentaffairs #busstrike #londontransport #uniteunion
TIB drivers set strikes for July 21 and 23, then possibly beyond July 25, trimming buses across Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera to 60 percent service. Book transfers early and watch union talks. #BalearicIslands #BusStrike #TravelNews #SpainTravel #Summer2025
Dunno if there is a bus strike going on? This morning I have waited through 6 bus cancelations & bus route name changes #sydneybuses #busstrike
This bus isn't on strike :) #BusStrike (@ Big Red Pizzeria - @thebigredpizza in Deptford, Greater London) http://4sq.com/1DJFIx6
Heard earlier that Arriva Kent Thameside weren't invited to join #BusStrike - handy (@ TfL Bus B12) http://4sq.com/1xrPaju
OK so my bus has just arrived. Confused. #busstrike
51, 54, 96, 122, 129, 172, 177, 178, 199, 225, 229, 269, 273, 286, 380, 386, 401, 436, 469, P12, P13… #SELondon #ZeroBusesAllDay #BusStrike
Having last pleasing look at http://londonvf.co.uk before bed - so many routes showing no buses used since #BusStrike began in early hours!
Arriva Kent Thameside not affected by #BusStrike today (@ TfL Bus B12 in London, Greater London) http://4sq.com/1DDFTgn
#BusStrike Lots of Londoners walking very determinedly, setting off home but what is with all the sirens?
Here's a new blog post I compiled at lunchtime about how the #BusStrike is going on Lewisham's routes: se13ure.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/how-the-bus-s...
Blimey, my SE13URE post about the #BusStrike has had nearly 3,000 views, mostly in the past 24 hours, from people searching for route info!
Odd anomaly in Lewisham #BusStrike stats: 75 route is running 100% of buses, unlike most routes at same garage/company running 0%. Why?!
#BusStrike: only approx 21% of vehicles that'd normally pass through Lewisham town centre're running. 9 of 23 routes've had no buses all day
Solidarity. #busstrike
Of course then #busstrike was cancelled. So I'm going home early for Dr! This is my New Patient checkup at surgery I joined 2yrs ago #winner
Scheduled Dr checkup for when I'd be home-working for dentist, then dentist brought fwd, so rescheduled for when home-working for #busstrike
Blimey, unusual step? RT @BBCTomEdwards #olympic #busstrike: And #tfl say offering to split any extra bus revenue with employees after Games
How on earth are the employers making such a mess of #busstrike? Even Conservative Steve Norris backed the drivers on the radio on Sat.
No #busstrike news yet then? Hashtag quiet, apart from a protest resulting in Olympic ring retraction on Tower Br to avoid unfortunate pics!
Hopefully getting our bikes back from their service tomorrow! In hindsight might've been useful for service day not to be #busstrike day :)
Only a couple more hours of #busstrike left, although I guess services'll take a bit of time to recover, as they did to die out last night.
Timelapse vid of @imogenheap's time in #ARoomForLondon was great record of #busstrike - clear near-vanishing of Waterloo Br buses by morning
Keep being distracted by Waterloo Bridge being bus-free for minutes at a time behind her; never see that usually! #ARoomForLondon #busstrike
