Bus drivers for Go North East will remain on an indefinite strike after latest negotiations failed to produce a new pay deal.
Disruption to North East transport will continue after the latest round of talks broke down without a resolution.
Workers had already staged two week-long strikes before beginning a continuous walkout on 28 October, following an overwhelming rejection of a 10.3% pay rise offer. Go North East business director, Ben Maxfield said: "Passengers are facing unacceptable levels of hardship. But instead of a constructive dialogue all we get from the local Unite representatives is a set of moving goal posts, escalating demands, and a succession of U-turns.
The provider had announced earlier that morning it will run more than 80 buses this week, including school buses and a service for hospital workers in Newcastle, but the vast majority of its routes remain suspended.
