Parents should be on standby in event of bus strike during exams

Parents should try and be available to take children into exams in the event of a bus strike around the TT period.

Bus drivers recently voted for further strike action in their long-running industrial dispute with the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure.

Whilst no exact date has yet been announced it's possible the busy TT period could be targeted - a time when many secondary school students are sitting their GCSEs and A-levels.

Minister Tim Crookall says they are monitoring the situation, but parents should be aware of possible difficulties
