The Island's latest bus strike has reached its halfway point - and drivers are claiming another round of talks with the government has fallen through.
The row about terms and conditions came to a head last week when drivers voted to walk out over 12 days in TT as the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure tries to save £300,000 a year.
Another offer was tabled by the drivers’ union Unite earlier today, but the drivers say it was rejected by the government in less than five minutes.
One driver Carl Vernon, says they've offered the government what they'd asked for:
Onchan heading for full recount following petition from ex-MHK
Treasury 'always looking' at whether additional support packages are needed
Onchan MHK confident in 'integrity' of those involved in election process
