Bus users are being urged to plan ahead as around two thirds of Bee Network<\/a> buses – including some school services – will be cancelled due to strike action next weekend. Staff plan to strike from Friday 19 to Monday 22 September over pay.<\/p>\n The strikes will affect many bus services<\/a>, but trams and trains<\/a> will continue to operate as normal and travellers will be able to use their bus tickets and passes on trams.<\/p>\n All bus services will still run in Bolton<\/a> and Wigan<\/a>, as well as some routes in North Manchester and the free bus in Manchester city centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n Never miss a story with the MEN’s daily Catch Up newsletter – get it in your inbox by signing up here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n TfGM Chief Network Officer, Danny Vaughan, said: \u201cBus operators across the country are responsible for the pay and conditions of their staff. We are encouraging operators and their unions to continue talks, reach agreement and avoid disruption for passengers.<\/p>\n \u201cAround two-thirds of buses will not run if bus operator staff take industrial action. We know this will impact people\u2019s ability to get around and we\u2019re very sorry for any disruption or inconvenience.<\/p>\n \u201cTrams and trains will run as normal, as well as some buses in parts of Greater Manchester. People should check to see if their bus service is affected and, if so, plan an alternative journey ahead of time. It will be busier than normal and we\u2019re urging people to leave plenty of time when travelling around the city-region.<\/p>\n Join the Manchester Evening News <\/strong>WhatsApp<\/strong> group <\/strong>HERE<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe are doing all we can to let people know about this and minimise the disruption and keep Greater Manchester moving. Our teams will be out helping passengers, bus tickets and passes will be accepted on trams, and all other public transport services will run as normal.\u201d<\/p>\n Due to the timing of industrial action, some late-night services on Thursday 18 September and very early morning services on Tuesday 23 September will also be affected.<\/p>\n Bury<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Manchester<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Barlow RC High School<\/p>\n Burnage Academy<\/p>\n Co-op <\/strong>Failsworth<\/a><\/p>\n Levenshulme<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Loreto College<\/p>\n Loreto High School<\/p>\n Trinity High School<\/p>\n Whalley Range<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Wright Robinson College<\/p>\n Oldham<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Crompton House<\/p>\n North Chadderton<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Royton & Crompton High School<\/p>\n Saddleworth<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Rochdale<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Holy Family College<\/p>\n Kingsway Park<\/p>\n Newhouse Academy<\/p>\n St Cuthberts RC High<\/p>\n Wardle Academy<\/p>\n Salford<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stockport<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Aquinas College<\/p>\n Bramhall<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Cheadle<\/a> PC Infants and Juniors<\/p>\n Cheadle Hulme<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Harrytown RC High School<\/p>\n Hazel Grove<\/a> High School<\/p>\n Kingsway School<\/p>\n Laurus Cheadle Hulme<\/p>\n Marple<\/a> Hall School<\/p>\n St James’ RC High School<\/p>\n Tameside<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Audenshaw School<\/p>\n Denton<\/a> Community College<\/p>\n Fairfield High School<\/p>\n Longdendale<\/a> High School<\/p>\n St Damian’s RC College<\/p>\n St Thomas More RC College<\/p>\n Trafford<\/p>\n Bee Network buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n School buses:<\/strong><\/p>\n Altrincham<\/a> College<\/p>\n Altrincham Grammar School for Boys\/Altrincham Grammar School for Girls\/Loreto Grammar School<\/p>\n Blessed Thomas Holford College<\/p>\n Broadoak School<\/p>\n\n
