A long-running dispute involving more than 1,800 bus drivers in London has ended after workers accepted a “well-deserved” salary offer.
Unite members employed by Abellio have carried out a series of work stoppages in recent months, disrupting journeys across south and west London.
According to Unite, an offer has been accepted whereby drivers with more than two years’ seniority will be paid £18 an hour.
Abellio London was contacted for comment.

The pay increase represents an 18% increase over the base rate, with the agreement covering all rate increases, including overtime and work on days off.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham called it an “important pay win”.
“The workers have stood their ground and, with the support of their union, Unite, have gotten a well-deserved pay rise,” she added.
