BOSSES at Network Warrington, the town's bus company, successfully won a last minute injunction to stop its staff from joining the strike.

They took the Unite union to the High Court on Monday after ‘inconsistencies’ in the ballot papers sent out.

It is understood around 35 of the 270 employees returned their ballot papers with around 25 voting in favour of joining the action.

Managing Director David Squire said the strike was called off on Tuesday and all staff reported for work this morning. The company has been able to run a full service.
