Go North East services on industrial action days

We will do everything we can to prevent or minimise the disruption to customers on the planned driver strike days of Friday 15 March and Monday 18 March. A full and normal service will be operating on Saturday 16 March and Sunday 17 March between the two strike days.

Priority is being given to running services for schools. We anticipate being able to operate a network of skeleton services across the areas of the region that we serve between 7am and 7pm. Travel on these services will be £1 single or £2 for a day ticket.
