From Friday 2 October 2026, RMT members at Go Cornwall Bus will refuse overtime and rest-day working and take their full meal breaks — action short of a strike with no end date announced. RMT members voted for both strike action and action short of a strike after the company refused to recognise the union, despite a TUC Disputes Committee verdict in January 2026 in RMT's favour.

What to expect: this is not a strike, and Go Cornwall Bus says it will do everything reasonably possible to maintain services, but it does not yet know how, when or where disruption may occur and some disruption remains possible. Allow extra time and check the Go Cornwall Bus app, website or social media for the latest information right up to departure.

This alert was originally created on 25 September 2026.
