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:


Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
