All 600 Trent drivers in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire are striking in support of a pay claim.

The workers, who are represented by the Transport and General Workers Union, say they will strike on the three Saturdays leading up to Christmas after the outcome of a postal ballot.

The company says there will be no further talks with the union while there is a threat of industrial action.

Executives also say that an above-inflation award averaging 4.2% has just been paid to drivers.

Although Trent buses are striking Barton buses remain in service.
