Lothian Buses strike action

Information and guidance for staff about upcoming industrial action that will affect bus services.

Strike action by drivers at Lothian Buses is currently due to take place on 2 August and could last indefinitely. While talks aimed at averting the strike are still taking place, we understand that any strike action may have a considerable impact on staff and students travelling to and from the University.

Current information about the proposed strike action can be found on the Lothian Buses website.

Staff guidance

To help make arrangements to deal with the possible disruption, the University has therefore produced a guidance document for staff below.

We would encourage staff to make use of other forms of travel wherever possible, which are detailed on the University’s Transport webpages.

If you have any concerns or would like to arrange working from home, please speak to your line manager.
