Stagecoach Bus strike gets underway

Dozens of Aberdeenshire bus drivers are on the picket-line rather than behind the wheel today.

A second one-day walk-out by union members at Stagecoach Bluebird - in a row over pay - began this morning.

Again school transport across Aberdeenshire is badly affected.

Stagecoach says it's had to draft in fewer drivers from other areas of the UK - because more local workers have agreed to turn up.

However officials from the T&G/Unite union believes the firm has struggled to persuade others to cross the picket-line.
