• London Bus workers are to step up industrial action following their rejection of the management's latest, 8.1% pay offer. The 19,000 workers voted by a six-to-one majority to stage a series of strikes in support of an improved offer.
Another meeting is planned between Transport and General Workers' Union leaders and management for this week, but TGWU London bus secretary 011ie Jackson says that unless the meeting leads to meaningful negotiations there will be weekly 24-hour stoppages. o London Regional Transport has awarded new bus operating contracts on seven routes.
One of the routes, a oneyear contract on the 550 school journey service from Gidea Park to Cranham, was awarded to Ensign Bus Services: the rest go to subsidiaries of London Buses.
A three-year contract on route 57 (Streatham Hill to Kingston) passes from London General to London United (Kingston Bus), while East London gets the 345 school journey from Chingford to Goodmayes on a one-year contract, from Eastern National.
London United retains the 237 Shepherds Bush-Sunbury Village service on a three-year contract, and the 133 Tooting Broadway-Liverpool Street route passes from South London to London General on a two-year contract.
South London has won twoyear contracts to operate the 403 Cheam-Warlingham Park Hospital and the 197/197A/ 197B services from Norwood to Croydon and Caterham. All were previously run by London County South-West.
