Bus operator Arriva will be operating with a limited service in Hertfordshire as 900 workers strike – here is everything you need to know.

There will be “severe disruptions” across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire during the strikes taking place today (September 5) and tomorrow (September 6).

Unite regional officer Jeff Hodge has pinned the action on Arriva for offering “a pay cut disguised as a rise”.

Will routes still be running?

Arriva says there will still be a limited service on its routes in certain Herfordshire areas. This includes:

Ware – a limited service on the 310 and 331 will operate between 6.45am and 4.22pm.

Leighton Buzzard – there will be a normal service on town routes D1, 32/33/34/45, but no service on F70 or F77.

Luton – there will be a limited service on service A between Luton Interchange and Luton Airport only. The 13 and 14 will run as normal on the Monday but not the Tuesday.

Busway Service A – This will run on Sunday night and Monday morning, the last departure from London Luton Airport to Dunstable / Dunstable to London Luton Airport is at 4am.

Aylesbury – limited school only journeys on the 150, 250, 280 and 500. Which is running roughly between 6.50 am and 3.50pm.

What about ArrivaClick?

Some may wish to make use of Watford’s on-demand minibus service during this time – however Arriva says that it will not be available during the strikes.

What has Arriva said?

Arriva has stated it “remains committed” to resolving the strike and continues to encourage Unite to ballot on the latest pay offer.

A statement reads:  “We will continue to keep our customers and stakeholders updated, we apologise for the inconvenience this will cause across the region, particularly as our schools return for a new academic year.”
