It is extremely disappointing to confirm that Unite has planned a further indefinite period of strike action, commencing Saturday 28 October 2023.
We are currently working on plans for services we will be able to operate during this period of strike. We expect that contract school bus services will still operate, and all other services will be reviewed as the situation develops.
We recognise that this will mean significant disruption to our customers and communities throughout the region, despite a generous pay offer being tabled. Go North East will continue to do all we can to resolve this dispute as quickly as possible.
We will keep our customers and stakeholders updated as talks progress and we apologise for the inconvenience Unite’s strike will cause.
And they still continue down this BS route of taking absolutely no responsibility for the dispute; 'Unite's strike', etc.
Best not let the truth get in the way of the MD's ego.

Think your best chance of a skeleton service is going to be on the 31st
