Limited bus services will again be operated by National Express West Midlands on the fifth consecutive day of a strike in a row over pay. The dozen routes will mainly cover hospitals across the region.

Bus drivers have been offered a 16.2 percent pay rise by the firm. Unite the Union will recommend its members accept the deal to end the dispute.

A 14.3 percent pay hike was previously rejected. Members will now be balloted today and tomorrow.
