Dublin Bus drivers returning to work
A number of drivers have returned to work at Dublin Bus following unofficial industrial action which began yesterday.
Two depots at Clontarf and Harristown have been affected by the action which led to the cancellation of 29 routes. It is not yet known what impact the drivers’ return will have on services.
Buses on 23 routes remain cancelled and services on a further 14 routes, mostly on the northside of the city, have been curtailed.
Limited service: 27 – 29a – 31 – 32/b – 37x – 38/a – 38b/c – 39 – 39x – 41 – 41x – 42/a/b – 103 – 130.
Cancelled routes: 4/4a – 13/13a – 17a – 27b – 27x – 31b – 32a – 32x – 33b – 40/a/b/c/d – 42 – 42a – 43 – 53 – 53a – 83 – 102 – 104 – 128 – 140 – 142 – 237 – 238 – 239 – 270.
The dispute follows the suspension of one driver who refused to work a new schedule on the 128 route.
The new schedule forms part of agreed measures designed to cut costs by €31m.
All services operating out of Harristown and Clontarf depots were suspended this morning and thousands of commuters have had to make alternative travel arrangements.
It is hoped further talks may take place later today with a view to resolving the dispute.
