Strikes by 500 Stagecoach drivers in Birkenhead, Chorley and Preston have been suspended due to an improved pay offer.

Unite, the UK’s leading union, will be balloting the workers on the new offer over the coming days.
Strike action scheduled from 29 September to 5 October and from 13 October to 19 October will not take place.

Unite regional officer Michael Woods said: “Following an improved offer from Stagecoach, Unite has suspended strikes in order to ballot our members.”
