Stagecoach strike called off
The Journal
|August 28, 2025
STRIKE action by Stagecoach bus drivers and depot staff in Newcastle has been called off after drivers accepted a pay offer.
A total of 600 workers from the Slatyford and Walkergate depots had been due to begin indefinite strike action on Sunday, August 31.
Union members originally planned to strike on August 11 and 12, but that was suspended when the company tabled an improved pay offer which was rejected by the workers.
On August 18, industrial action saw bosses at the bus firm forced to run a limited service, with North East mayor Kim McGuinness calling for a new offer to be made as commuters were faced with long queues and delays for their usual services.
