LONDON'S bus services were saved at the eleventh hour this week from disruption by an unofficial strike of some busmen. The trouble arose over the vexed question of adjusting running schedules more realistically to the staff available.
Last Sunday, three days before the new schedules were to come into force, a mass meeting of men at West Hani garage decided to strike from midnight on Tuesday over the new schedules.
But after Union officials obtained from London Transport an undertaking of more equal distribution of cuts among the services and a guarantee that the cut services would be restored as soon as more staff became available, the strike was called off and the new schedules were started.
