An agreement which will put an end to the bus stoppages in Auckland is expected to be signed and sealed by this afternoon.

New Zealand Bus and its drivers have been locked in a dispute over pay, but have reached an agreement during mediated talks.

Drivers will be voting whether or not to accept the new pay offer at a meeting around 11am.

Both NZ Bus and the combined bus unions cannot speak on the deal until around 1pm.

As a result, bus services will be disrupted from 9.30am until 2pm.

Services affected include Metrolink, North Star, Waka Pacific , Go West, Link and City Circuit buses.
