Both this strike and one from the 5-8th went ahead. I had to travel throughout both, and it was interesting to see both how many drivers were out on picket lines (a lot) and most people's reaction to it (not good).
I can't imagine it'll be any better for the next strike; 21st of this month through to the 20th of January...

In slightly lighter news, it seems like Swansea (and potentially more areas) will be getting electric buses soon. A few members of the Senedd went to an event earlier this week, and I imagine a more official press release will come out fairly soon.

Good to get behind the wheel of a new First bus coming to a #Swansea street near you very soon

But don’t worry, hopefully the drivers won’t still be on strike by then, so I won’t be the one behind the wheel!!
