The northeast faces travel chaos as Go North East, the region’s largest bus company owned by the Go Ahead Group, is set to experience a seven-day strike starting from midnight tonight. Drivers will walk out until Saturday, October 7, only to resume striking the following fortnight, leaving significant parts of the northeast without bus services.

Members of the public have voiced their frustration on social media, expressing concerns about the lack of transportation and the financial losses incurred by workers unable to reach their workplaces. The strike is a result of unsuccessful negotiations between Go North East and the drivers, prompting the latter to take to the picket line.
