PASSENGERS in Bradford have been warned to expect bus service disruption due to proposed strike action next week.
Arriva Yorkshire’s Unite union members are expected to strike from 2am on Monday, June 6 for an undisclosed period of time.
During this industrial action there will be no planned Arriva bus services operating within Yorkshire, including Bradford, Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike.
For the duration of the industrial action, journey planning in Yorkshire on the Arriva website and Arriva UK Bus App will be disabled.

Arriva Yorkshire says it is disappointing the action has been called.
An Arriva UK Bus spokesman said: “We are deeply disappointed that we were unable to reach an agreement with Union representatives today and Unite has confirmed they plan to hold a strike for an indefinite period across services in Yorkshire from 2am on Monday, June 6.
“Such unjustified strike action will have an extremely negative impact on communities across the region, particularly at this crucial time of year for students undertaking GCSE exams.
“Arriva is calling on Unite to abandon their plans for this damaging and counter-productive strike and to ballot their members on the new offer.”
All Arriva pre-paid tickets will be accepted on First Bus & Transdev services during strike days.
