Services from the depots in Blackwood, Brynmawr, Pontypool and Cwmbran are going to be severely disrupted from Tuesday as drivers go on strike over pay and conditions. Stagecoach drivers in other parts of the UK are also striking. Arriva drivers are planning similar actions.

The bus industry looks like the next that will have a radical shake up. Services have been hit as drivers have had to isolate having suffered Covid. There is also some evidence of bus drivers turning to haulage after wages have risen dramatically there.
