STRIKING bus drivers who work from the Arriva depot at Magnet Road, Grays, began the first of their days of action today (Friday, 14 August).

The dispute is over the alleged lack of action by managers of the company over 'intolerable' conditions in bus cabs during the recent heatwaves.

Members of the Unite union waved placards and protest banners to drivers on London Road.
