Glasgow commuters face disruption as bus strike set to last six weeks

Around 430 Stagecoach West Scotland drivers began strike action on May 26, 2025, affecting bus services in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, and Glasgow.
The strike follows a rejected 4% pay offer made in November 2024, which Unite and the drivers deemed unacceptable and insufficient.
Strike action will occur on isolated days—June 2 and June 6—before escalating into a continuous six-week period from June 9 through July 21, affecting more than 40 bus routes.
Sharon Graham, the general secretary of Unite, stated that Stagecoach West Scotland could resolve the ongoing pay dispute at any time by presenting a reasonable pay proposal.
Stagecoach acknowledged the disruption, apologised, and urged Unite to return to talks to seek a sustainable agreement supporting both employees and service viability.
