UK: Unionized Abellio bus drivers striking in London Jan. 25-26

Event

Unionized Abellio bus drivers affiliated with the Unite labor union are striking across south and west London, Jan. 25-26. The purpose of the action is to demand increased pay.

The labor action will continue to disrupt Abellio bus services in the affected locations. Services that do run will likely be busier than usual, and there will probably be increased demand for alternative forms of transport. Organizers have yet to announce any related gatherings, though they are possible at bus depots, prominent bus stops, and public squares.

Advice

Consider using alternative modes of transportation. Reconfirm bus schedules. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating in the affected area. Avoid protests as a security precaution.
