1,500 Arriva bus drivers strike over 40°C cab heat in North London

More than 1,500 Arriva North London bus drivers began strike action on 14 August 2026, protesting cab temperatures exceeding 40°C. The union Unite says cooling systems reduce heat by only 2-3°C, risking driver health. Strikes continue until October, coinciding with Piccadilly line closures.
