Just four routes today, folks. Members of the Unite union who work for transport firm CT Plus are taking industrial action today, bringing disruption to routes 153, 388, 394 and W13. The action will also affect buses taking workers into the Olympic Park, perhaps a harbinger of future labour disputes taking advantage of the Olympic deadline to lend urgency to their cause. CT Plus also run the Richard Cloudesley Islington School Buses and a scooter-hire facility in Camden, which will also be in the doldrums today. The walkout was prompted by workers' chagrin at a proposed 2.25% pay rise. (Image / dave_olis_trip)
