First Manchester has confirmed that strikes due to take place on Friday 4, Monday 7, Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 February have been called off as the union ballots drivers on a revised pay offer.

The decision means that all First Manchester bus services will operate as normal.

Ian Humphreys, Managing Director of First Manchester, said: “We’re pleased that our latest offer is to be voted on and hope this will quickly bring an end to this dispute and the significant hardship it is causing to our customers and our colleagues and their families.”

Customers with pre-bought tickets for any dates of industrial action will be given a refund or replacement tickets to use for future travel.
