Edgware bus drivers staged a protest over Olympics bonuses today.

The demonstration at Edgware Bus Station caused disruption to a number of bus services this morning.

Leon Daniels, managing director surface transport at Transport for London, said: "It is negotiation between the employers and union that is required to settle this dispute, not action that disrupts the journeys of hard working bus passengers."

Drivers want a £500 Olympic bonus in line with that being paid to other transport workers.

Demonstrations were also held in Westbourne Park, Willesden, Brixton, Garston and Alperton during rush hour.
