A 48-HOUR bus drivers strike in Bradford will go ahead from tomorrow after talks broke down.

LATEST: BUS STRIKE CAUSING 'MASSIVE DISRUPTION' IN BRADFORD AS 162 SERVICES CANCELLED

A total of 380 staff members will walk out of the First Bradford depot in Bowling Back Lane on Monday from 1.30am after 11th hour talks failed to reach an agreement.

The meeting between Unite union officials and the Advisory Conciliation And Arbitration Service (ACAS) in Leeds yesterday could not settle the dispute.

Unite union members says the primary reason for the action is the transfer of part of the 576 bus service from Bradford to Halifax which it says has cost eight jobs. But First deny this allegation.

First say dozens of services, including more than 40 school services, will not be running.

Here is the full list.
