The trade union representing drivers at Go North East has announced strike action for weeks commencing 30 September and 14 October 2023. Should these strikes go ahead, this may affect the following Cardinal Hume Scholars’ services:

Further talks involving ACAS are to take place and it is hoped the strikes can be averted. We will inform parents as soon as plans are confirmed by Nexus, but in the meantime families may wish to consider their own contingency arrangements.
