London Bus Drivers Strike Over Air-Conditioning Timeline

About 1,500 Arriva North London bus drivers resumed a four-day strike after workers at three of eight garages rejected a deal Unite officials reached with the company. Drivers doubt air-conditioning upgrades across the 730-bus fleet will finish by summer 2027. More stoppages are planned through September and October. In-cab temperatures topped 40C during 2026's five heatwaves.
