Ayrshire Stagecoach drivers have said they had no option but to walk out for SIX weeks.
Rural communities across Ayrshire have been cut off as six weeks of strikes by Stagecoach drivers over a pay dispute begin.
Temporary timetables introduced by Stagecoach will see just nine services running across the county.
Towns including Cumnock, Auchinleck, Mauchline, Stewarton, Kilmaurs, Dalry, Kilbirine, Beith, Largs and West Kilbride won't see a Stagecoach bus for the next six weeks.
Hundreds of Stagecoach drivers based in Ayr, Ardrossan, Arran and Kilmarnock walked out on Monday after rejecting a pay deal.
Speaking through a Unite the Union representative, the drivers said they had “absolutely no choice” but to go on strike.
