PETROL stations in Oldham were under siege with panic-buying motorists yesterday and this morning following fears of impending petrol tanker strikes.
There were reports of some stations closing early after running out of fuel, while others, such as at Asda in Chadderton, saw lengthy queues.
Moves to start peace talks aimed at averting a strike by fuel tanker drivers will be stepped up today amid fears that panic buying of petrol will escalate.
