BUS CREWS campaigning for less Sunday work refused to drive into the centre of Mansfield this week.
East Midland Motor Services buses either stopped on the outskirts of Mansfield or did not run at ail.
The men want a straight 8hr shift on Sundays instead of a staggered 10 hours. Talks between the TGWU and East Midland are expected to take place next week. For the past month 60 Mansfield men have stopped local services operating on Sundays, but this week depots at Chesterfield and Nottingham also became involved.
No Chesterfield and Sheffield services ran earlier this week and Nottingham buses picking up just outside Mansfield ran 11/2 hours late. Excursions were also hit.
