Buses of Somerset – strike action announced
Bus services provided by Buses of Somerset (BoS) could be subject to further disruption as a result of industrial action next week.
The RMT has announced two days of strike action on Friday 9 August and Monday 12 August, along with two days of industrial action withholding overtime on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August.
Negotiations continue, but if the action goes ahead the disruption will only affect the BoS services, provided by First Bus South, not other providers operating in the county.
The extent of the disruption would not be known until the days of action themselves.
Somerset Council will do its best to communicate affected services to the public alongside any communications by BoS across social and local media.
In the event of strike action, unfortunately no service can be guaranteed and all may be subject to last minute change. Passengers should check before travelling.
