12 bus routes serving south London are set to be affected when Abellio staff members stage a nine-day walkout.

Around 40 Abellio control room staff members are set to go on strike for nine days, beginning on March 9.

Controllers, managers and supervisors based at both Battersea and Twickenham bus garages are also staging walkouts on March 7, 8, 9, 17, 19, 22, 27, 28 and 29.
