Buses back on - but another four-day strike starts Friday

Bus Vannin says it's expecting an almost-normal day today, after a 10-day bus strike.

Drivers are due to walk out again on Friday, March 6 if no agreement is reached in a dispute over pay and contracts.

The organisation says its contingency plans will operate over the weekend in that case, with backup timetables on main routes, trams running between Ramsey and Douglas and free car parking on Douglas Promenade walkway.

Today, bus services should operate as usual, although Bus Vannin says there may be some minor disruption.
