London Bus Drivers Strike Over Allegations of Bullying
This weekend, hundreds of London bus drivers from Stagecoach at Lea Interchange Bus Garage are striking over allegations of bullying and union busting, leading to little or no service on 13 bus routes. The strikes will occur from 3am on December 12 to 2:59am on December 14, impacting crucial routes, including those serving Westfield Stratford City. Unite, the drivers’ union, emphasizes the disruptive timing ahead of Christmas shopping, while Stagecoach denies the allegations and expresses disappointment over the lack of resolution. Further strikes are planned for January 8 and 9, 2026, if the situation remains unresolved.
