Hundreds of London's bus drivers have taken part in a protest march to demand collective bargaining.

Members of Unite want an end to salary differences between firms that can see pay differ from £17,000 to £25,000.
Unite said the discrepancy was due to the number of tenders available and companies submitting the lowest bids.
Transport for London, which oversees the city's bus services, said it was down to the individual companies, many of whom have declined to comment.
Unite's general secretary Len McCluskey said: "With decentralisation and the sell-off of routes, London's bus drivers' wages have taken a hit and vary drastically from company to company.
"It is madness - there ought to be a common, decent rate for the job."
Unite said about 400 bus drivers had marched from Bressenden Place to Old Palace Yard in Westminster.
The union said an "explosion in competition" had led to a "squeeze on the pay, terms and conditions of all bus workers".
John Murphy, from Unite, said: "When you consider what the job is - there's shift work and bad backs and buses take everyone to the train stations and the middle of London -  we're quite responsible for keeping this city running.
"Another downside is if you can have employees in on £3 less, that puts those who are paid the £3 above in jeopardy, who are the bosses going to want?"
He said he march had been a "success" but there was "still a way to go" to achieve the union's aims.
Mr Murphy said the average wage for a London Underground driver was about £40,000 and therefore a "reasonable" wage for a bus driver should be between £28,000 and £30,000.
Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the London Assembly Liberal Democrats and chair of the assembly's transport committee, said: "It is a strange anomaly that while tube drivers receive the same pay across London but the terms and conditions of bus drivers vary enormously.
"If we expect a uniform level of service from bus drivers there is a strong case that they should at least be paid on a consistent basis across the capital."


British Flat racing's most successful female jockey Hayley Turner is to ride in France to take advantage of the controversial 2kg (4.4 lb) weight allowance for horses ridden by women.

The allowance was introduced in February to compensate for a supposed lack of strength in the saddle.
Turner, 34, will "to and fro a bit to France" when other commitments allow.
She is due to partner Sir Titan in a handicap on the final day of the Goodwood Festival on Saturday.
Turner is a two-time winner at Flat racing's Group One level and has made a number of comebacks since announcing her retirement in 2015.
In 2017, she has won two races from four starts.
At the time the weight allowance was brought in, while acknowledging "pros and cons", Britain's champion apprentice Josephine Gordon said: "I find it a bit offensive."
However, the French authorities insist female jockeys are being booked for significantly more rides as a result.


Edinburgh University is to fully divest from three of the world's biggest fossil fuel producers within the next six months.

The decision has been taken by the university's investment committee, which met earlier.
It follows the end of a 10-day student occupation of one of its buildings in Chambers Street.
Campaigners said it was a "big step forward" and represented a "significant shift" in the university's position.
Professor Charlie Jeffery, the university's senior vice-principal, said: "This decision underlines the recent commitment made by the University to address the challenge of climate change though its responsible investment policy.
"We will act quickly to reduce harmful emissions through divestment, reinforcing the work we do to act on climate change through research and teaching."
Kirsty Haigh, student campaigner with Edinburgh People and Planet and NUS Scotland VP Communities, said: "We are glad to see the University finally accept that there are lower carbon alternatives to coal and tar sands, but it should have never taken this long.
"The University is pledging to 'engage' with these companies for the next four weeks before divesting, but has refused to outline what that means.
"These companies pour millions into greenwashing and it is crucial that the University is not bought over by this, and that they follow through and fully divest from them."
Lang Banks, WWF Scotland director, said: "This is a welcome move by the University and we hope it marks the beginning of the end for their investments in climate-trashing fossil fuels.
"The students and staff are to be congratulated for their persistence on this important global issue, as I am in no doubt this would not have happened had it not been for their campaign.
"The science is clear, to protect our climate the vast majority of known fossil fuel reserves must remain unburned and in the ground."
Ric Lander, of Friends of the Earth Scotland, said: "To avoid catastrophic climate change we know that 80% of fossil fuels reserves must be kept in the ground. The investment decisions of Scottish institutions will play a part in shaping our future and they must be held accountable for the impacts of their investment policy.
"Today's announcement suggests Edinburgh University is listening but students, staff and alumni are unlikely to be reassured until they take the final step to divest from fossil fuel companies.
"Coal and tar sands cause enormous environmental destruction wherever they are extracted and are incompatible with a low-carbon future.  We urgently need a transformation of our energy system to clean, reliable renewables."


Once again the polls, taken as a whole, were not a good guide to the election result.

Over the course of the campaign the gap between the main two parties narrowed but, with one exception, the final polls all suggested a clearer Conservative lead than the actual outcome.
Having said that, it wasn't an unmitigated disaster. Every poll throughout the campaign put the Conservatives ahead - and that was indeed the result.
The final polls were fairly accurate about the Conservative and Lib Dem shares. It was Labour where they were uniformly wrong. They also overestimated UKIP and the SNP.
Survation were closest to the actual result. Kantar Public's numbers were also reasonably good.
YouGov's final poll, like most of the others, seriously underestimated Labour. Prior to that, they had been suggesting a closer race. They also had a separate seat projection model which had been indicating a hung parliament. That had been met with a lot of scepticism but, with hindsight, was pretty accurate.
In the final weeks of the campaign, the polls were often criticised for being "all over the place". It's true that they were pointing to very different outcomes.
That variation clearly made it difficult to interpret what they were saying. It's surely better, though, that they had different numbers than that they were all wrong in exactly the same way. If you're looking for consistent accuracy then opinion polls are probably not for you.
Pollsters are also sometimes accused of herding - deliberately manipulating their figures so they all say the same thing. That accusation can't be levelled at this election.
In 2015 the polls went wrong because their samples were not representative of the electorate - they contained too many Labour voters. They also failed to estimate the difference in turnout rates between different age groups - they overestimated turnout among young voters.
The pollsters who were furthest from the actual result this time were those, like ICM and ComRes, who had taken the strongest measures to try to rectify the problem from 2015. Survation made no significant changes to their methodology and came out on top.
It looks as though the errors this time were caused, at least in part, by fighting the last war.
We'll never know the exact figures for turnout among young voters - it's a secret ballot remember - but YouGov's post-election estimate puts it at 57% for 18-19 year olds and 59% for 20-24 year olds.
That's lower than for older voters but considerably higher than estimates for young voters in 2015.
We can also see that the places where the number of voters increased the most were generally those with young populations. The assumption made by some pollsters that young turnout would continue to under-perform was probably wrong.


Russia has condemned Boris Johnson's call for demonstrations outside its London embassy as "shameful".

The foreign secretary said on Tuesday that he would "like to see" a protest against bombings of the Syrian city of Aleppo, which are being blamed on Vladimir Putin's forces.
But Moscow, which denies the claims, accused him of "Russophobic hysteria".
And the Stop the War Coalition said protests in the UK would not "make a blind bit of difference".
And a Labour spokesman suggested people were free to protest outside the embassies of all foreign powers intervening in Syria, including the US.
The northern Syrian city of Aleppo has become the most high-profile battleground in the country's five-year civil war.
A UN relief convoy was attacked from the air last month - an action widely blamed on Russia, an ally of President Bashar al-Assad.
In an emergency House of Commons debate on Tuesday, Mr Johnson called for those responsible for strikes on the convoy and hospitals in Aleppo to face trial at the International Criminal Court.
Saying Russia risked becoming a "pariah" state, he told MPs the UK government was "taking the lead" in raising awareness of the situation in Syria.
He added: "There is no commensurate horror, it seems to me, amongst some of those anti-war protest groups.
"I would certainly like to see demonstrations outside the Russian embassy.
"Where is the Stop the War Coalition at the moment? Where are they?"
Russia's government has reacted angrily.
Its Ministry of Defence spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, said: "The Russophobic hysteria regularly whipped up by various members of the British establishment for a long time now has been quite underwhelming.
"Therefore, the frenzy that has gripped... Boris Johnson, who accuses Russia of committing every deadly sin, is a storm in a teacup full of muddy London water."
And Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the Interfax news agency: "It is clear now what Boris Johnson meant when he said that the weapon that the West would be using against Russia was shame.
"The statement he made calling on protests in front of the Russian embassy is a shame. It is shameful.
"It is shameful for the simple reason that now it is becoming clear who is behind the so-called organisations and social movements and representatives of civil society that come out to Russian embassies on different occasions."
French foreign minister Jean-Marc Aryault, who has echoed Mr Johnson's call for the International Criminal Court to investigate Russia's actions in Syria, questioned the purpose of his counterpart's comments.
"Is it the job of a foreign minister to organise demonstrations?" he told journalists.
Air strikes on Aleppo continued on Tuesday, with at least 25 people reported dead.
The United Nations has warned that eastern Aleppo, where an estimated 275,000 people still live, could face "total destruction" within two months.
Last week, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution drafted by France calling for an end to the bombing in the city.
Stop the War vice-chairman Chris Nineham said the group would not organise demonstrations outside the Russian embassy in London.
Its aim was to "make a difference to what Britain does" and what its allies do, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, adding: "But if we have a protest outside the Russian embassy, it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference as to what Putin does, because we are in Britain and we are in the West.
"And, not only that - a protest outside the Russian embassy would actually contribute to increasing the hysteria and the jingoism that is being whipped up at the moment against Russia."
Sir John Sawers, the former head of MI6, told Today Mr Johnson should be wary of calling for demonstrations in London.
He urged him to "recall" the storming and ransacking of the British embassy by protesters in Iran in 2011.
He added: "I don't think that would happen in Moscow, but you have to be careful about the consequences of what you call for."
A spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Russia was not the only foreign power involved in the Syrian conflict and all of them needed to come together in pursuit of a negotiated settlement.
"Obviously, people are entitled and at complete liberty to demonstrate outside not only the Russian embassy, but all the other embassies of those intervening powers," he said.
"People are free to protest outside the intervening powers' embassies and there are a number of them - not just the US and Russia."


The offence itself was bad enough - an orgy of overspending by obsequious officials and conniving contractors who managed to spend 246m rand ($21.7m, Â£14.3m) of public money lavishly upgrading South African President Jacob's Zuma's private homestead, Nkandla.

That is nearly 10 times what taxpayers spent on Nelson Mandela's two homes, and 20 times what it cost to secure Thabo Mbeki's house.
As we now know, Mr Zuma's "essential security upgrades" included a swimming pool, an amphitheatre, a chicken run and a visitors' centre. A fairly humble collection of traditional buildings on a rural hillside has been transformed into something more like a luxury holiday resort.
But as is so often the case in politics, it is the cover up - long, venomous, hair-splitting and sanctimonious - that has been most revealing, and most depressing.
Some of Mr Zuma's closest advisers - those with an eye on image and votes, rather than on real or imaginary security concerns - were urging him from the very beginning to apologise for any errors and to volunteer immediately to pay for any unwarranted expenditure.
The scandal could have ended in a week, and the president could even have emerged with his status enhanced.
Instead Mr Zuma and his supporters have sought to undermine the credibility of South Africa's public protector - whose exhaustively forensic report recommended that he repay some of the money - and have ridiculed the opposition for seeking to turn Nkandla into a presidency-defining scandal about accountability and corruption.
Now the police minister - a man whose career is, of course, entirely dependent on Mr Zuma's goodwill - has produced his own report, which spells out, in inadvertently comic detail, how conveniently the mosaic-inlayed swimming pool can double as an essential source of water for fighting fires.
The minister's unsurprising conclusion - Mr Zuma should not pay back a penny.
President Zuma did not hide his sense of vindication.
In parliament this week he openly mocked the opposition's attempts to pronounce the word "Nkandla" in a not-so-subtle hint that it was white politicians who were driving the criticism.
It was a confident, boisterous, divisive, and - at least for his supporters - genuinely comic moment.
And there is no doubt that Mr Zuma's jibes will have gone down well with his base.
Spending on presidents' private homes:

How Nkandla has grown
He is a consummate performer with a salt-of-the-earth appeal that the youthful new opposition leader, and part-time pastor, Mmusi Maimane cannot hope to match.
But South Africa is heading towards local elections next year and one has to wonder what impact Nkandla will have on wavering voters and on the governing African National Congress's majorities - under threat in some key urban municipalities.
If this were a constituency-based parliamentary democracy you could imagine a long queue of backbenchers lining up to beg Mr Zuma to handle Nkandla differently, since it was damaging their support among local voters.
Instead, politics here leans more towards a patronage system, with Mr Zuma at the tip of the pyramid. He is a proud, stubborn man, with some acute political skills.
But his career has been defined - you could argue - by two things: His experiences as an underground intelligence operator in the fight against apartheid; and his years in a newly democratic environment where the ANC has never seriously had to worry about losing power.
The Nkandla issue may fade into the background now. For a final judgment, we'll have to wait until next year's elections.


UK banking giant HSBC has announced it is to keep its headquarters in London.

Concerns about stricter UK regulations led Europe's biggest bank to launch a review into whether to move elsewhere, with Hong Kong seen as the most likely alternative.
But the bank said it had decided unanimously against the move and that London "offered the best outcome for our customers and shareholders".
The decision was seen as a vote of confidence for the UK.
The bank has had its headquarters in the UK since 1993 but makes most of its money overseas, and Asia accounts for the majority of its profit.
Douglas Flint, the chairman of HSBC, told the Today programme: "London offered the best of both worlds for us. HSBC at its heart is a bank focused on trade and investment flows.
"The UK is one of the most globally connected economies in the world with a fantastic regulatory system and legal system and immense experience in dealing with international affairs," Mr Flint said.
"The government's made very clear its commitment to ensuring that that UK remains a leading international financial centre ... We've ended up with the best of both worlds - a pivot to Asia led from London."
HSBC is understood to have paid about £30m to advisors to help it reach the decision to remain based in London.
HSBC shares rose 1.36% in Monday's trading in London to 446.4p, but have fallen 17% this year. The bank's Kong Hong-listed shares closed 4% higher on Monday.
However, analysts at Investec said HSBC's decision was "regrettable" because it faced tighter regulations and the cost of the UK bank levy.
"We see HSBC's announcement as a missed opportunity," said Investec analyst Ian Gordon.
HSBC had been paying £1bn a year through the UK banking levy before the government changed the tax last year.
Mr Flint said "it was important that there was a change in the scope of the levy".
"A levy based on an international balance sheet was a disincentive for a global group, and we made that point ever since the start of the levy. It was good to see that the scope of the levy changed to being a domestic impost, and that was important," the HSBC chairman said.
However, Mr Flint denied that HSBC had forced the government's hand in changing the banking levy.
"We had no negotiation with the government. The government was well aware of our view, and indeed the view of many other people who commented upon it, but there certainly was no pressure put, or negotiation."
He added that the regulatory regime had "not been softened".
HSBC's decision was based on "a generational view" and not on "short-term dynamics", Mr Flint said.
"It [the decision to stay] was based on a very thoughtful perspective on how economics will play out over the next 20 [to] 25 years," he said.
HSBC said that London had an "internationally respected regulatory framework and legal system" and added that it also was "home to a large pool of highly skilled, international talent".
It was therefore "ideally positioned to be the home base for a global financial institution such as HSBC".
Part of the review was considering whether the increased regulation of the banking industry in the UK - in particular the increased tax burden - warranted moving elsewhere.
But in the last Budget, the Chancellor George Osborne introduced a gradual reduction in the bank levy on balance sheets - a move which particularly affected HSBC, because of its large balance sheet.
In 2014 it paid £750m of the £1.9bn raised by the government through that particular tax.
For HSBC itself, the decision wasn't just about the tax environment in the UK.
There was also the problem of the regulatory environment in China - with the central bank causing nervousness among investors and volatility in the markets after intervening in the stock and currency markets.
Poorer news about the Chinese economy also focused minds at HSBC's Canary Wharf headquarters in London's docklands.
One interesting point to make about the decision is that whatever fears HSBC has about Britain possibly leaving the European Union, London's attraction as a financial capital was more significant.
Which raises a challenge for those who argue that businesses could quit the UK if Britain were to leave the EU.

The board added that it had also decided to end the practice of reviewing the location of the group's headquarters every three years, and would only revisit the matter if there was "a material change in circumstances".
It stressed that Asia remained "at the heart of the group's strategy" and that it was putting "particular emphasis on investing further in the Pearl River Delta and ASEAN region".
Hong Kong's Monetary Authority (HKMA) said it respected HSBC's decision.
"The HKMA appreciates that for a large international bank such as HSBC, relocation of domicile is a very major and complicated undertaking," said Norman Chan, its chief executive.
The Treasury welcomed the move.
"It's a vote of confidence in the government's economic plan, and a boost to our goal of making the UK a great place to do more business with China and the rest of Asia," a spokesperson said.
The CBI business lobby group also said the announcement was "good news" because strong banks were "critical for the British economy".
That sentiment was echoed by the BBA, the banking industry body and TheCityUK.
In line with other banks, HSBC shares have fallen sharply this year.
The stock is down 18% since the start of the year and more than 30% from last April, when the review into where to base its HQ was first announced.
The bank will report full-year results on Monday, 22 February. It is in the process of implementing a $5bn (£3.4bn) savings drive and cutting 8,000 jobs in the UK.


Romelu Lukaku has sent a farewell message to Everton as he prepares to move to Manchester United.

The 24-year-old striker had a medical at the weekend and is set to sign for United for an initial £75m, despite former club Chelsea matching the bid.
The Belgium forward moved to Everton from the Blues for £28m in July 2014 and has scored 68 Premier League goals.
"I want to say a big thank you to all the people involved at Everton," he posted on Instagram on Sunday.
"I want to thank the fans for your support throughout the four years we've spent together. I can proudly say it was an honour to play in front of you."
"To the staff at the stadium and training ground, thank you for making me feel home from the first day I walked in," he continued.
"To the technical staff, thank you for helping me become a better player. Working with you guys has been a pleasure and I'll take your advice throughout the rest of my career. Thank you Everton Football Club."
Lukaku is in the United States and was arrested in Los Angeles last week following a noise complaint. He is due to appear in court on 2 October.
In March, he turned down the most lucrative contract offer in Everton's history, thought to be worth £140,000 a week, and later said: "I don't want to stay at the same level. I want to improve and I know where I want to do that."
When asked about Lukaku's departure at a news conference to announce the arrival of Wayne Rooney, Everton manager Ronald Koeman said the player was leaving with his best wishes.
"I think he took the right decision and let's hope everything goes well for him because I like him, I like the player but it's now about Everton," he said.
The striker signed for Chelsea from Anderlecht when he was 18 in August 2011 for a fee reported to be about £20m.
He made one Premier League start for the club and spent time on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Everton before sealing a permanent move to Goodison Park.


The presumptive Republican candidate in the US presidential election, Donald Trump, has called on Muslims to work with the police and "turn people in".

In an interview with the UK's ITV, Mr Trump said he was not anti-Muslim, but "anti-terror".
He was reacting to remarks by UK Prime Minister David Cameron that his call for Muslims to be banned from the US was "divisive, stupid and wrong".
Mr Trump made the call last year, when he was not the party's front-runner.
He insisted that when he called for an immediate temporary ban on Muslims being allowed into America, there had been criticism only from politicians. Millions of people from all over the world had called in, he said, saying "Donald Trump is right".
Asked whether he would re-phrase those comments in the light of the controversy they caused, Mr Trump said: "It got people thinking. Whether it's good for me or bad for me, I don't really care."

Can Trump really change his image?
"Something very bad" was going on that people pretended didn't exist, Mr Trump said.
The world had a tremendous problem with radical Islamic terror, the New York billionaire said.
"If you look at it world-wide, the world is blowing up. And it's not people from Sweden that's doing the damage, okay?"
It is up to Muslims to turn in people they suspected of extremism, he told ITV.
"They have to work with the police. They're not turning them in. If they're not playing ball, it's not going to work out."
Referring to Mr Cameron's criticism, Mr Trump also said it looked like he was not going to have a good relationship with the UK prime minister.
He also criticised the new Mayor of London Sadiq Khan for calling him "ignorant".
The New Yorker is one of the least politically experienced nominees in US history, having never held elected office.
Many senior Republicans have refused to back him. All other Republican rivals have dropped out of the campaign.
Protests have plagued his campaign, with particular focus on his plan to build a wall on the Mexican border and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton appears closer to the nomination, having secured more delegates than Bernie Sanders.


At least 15 people have been killed and many others wounded in a suicide bomb attack in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, officials say.

The explosion happened in Kadhamiyah, a mainly Shia Muslim district in the north of the city, they added.
The attack happened at rush hour, and was the latest in a spate of explosions in the capital over the past two weeks.
On Sunday the government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ended a 12-year-old night-time curfew in the city.
That came despite at least 32 people being killed on Saturday in a string of attacks across the city.
Mr Abadi said he had taken the decision to lift the curfew to help normalise life in Baghdad.
Monday's attack happened in a square that was packed with morning commuters, police officials said.
The district is home to one of the holiest shrines in Shia Islam and has suffered similar attacks in the past.
On Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a restaurant in the predominantly Shia New Baghdad area, killing 22 people and wounding at least 50.
More people died in attacks on two markets, one in the city centre and one in a south-west district.
Speaking at the time, the interior ministry said it did not believe that the blasts were linked to the lifting of the curfew.


The 100 year anniversary of the introduction of British Summer Time is being marked on Sunday - as clocks in the UK go forward by an hour.

British Summer Time was established in the UK in 1916 following campaigning by William Willett, a great-great-grandfather of Coldplay's Chris Martin.
His initial idea was adapted by Thomas Wright from the British Horological Institute (BHI).
The BHI is holding an exhibition at its base in Upton Hall in Nottinghamshire.
Ashley Strachan, chairman of the BHI Museum Trustees, said: "William Willett conceived the idea in 1905 during a pre-breakfast ride, when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through a large part of a summer's day.
"An avid golfer, he also disliked cutting short his round at dusk.
"His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months, a proposal he published two years later."
Mr Willett proposed a phased change in the clocks over four weeks in spring and four weeks in autumn.
The clocks would have changed by 20 minutes each week - adding up to a change of 80 minutes.
He lobbied for the change until his death in 1915 - a year prior to its introduction.
Leading horologist Thomas Wright, of the British Horological Institute, initially argued against the change.
"Thomas Wright called the idea 'stupid', because it was impractical and would have caused international communication chaos and traffic mayhem," said Mr Strachan.
Another leading horologist, Frank Hope-Jones, pointed out in a letter to the BHI Horological Journal that "it would be downright wicked for us in the country of origin of standard time [i.e. Greenwich Mean Time] to destroy the unanimity that so many nations have gone out of their way to bring about".
However pressure mounted, so Mr Wright proposed an alternative one-hour change in spring and autumn - and this is still used today.


Talks aimed at averting a British Airways cabin crew strike over Christmas are to be held on Monday, conciliation service Acas says.

Members of the Unite union are due to walk out on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in a row over pay and conditions.
An Acas spokesman said BA and Unite had accepted their invitation to attend conciliation talks on Monday morning.
The action, if it goes ahead, could involve up to 4,500 staff on "mixed fleet" contracts.
It comes after cabin crew who are members of Unite rejected a 2% pay rise offer on Wednesday - 1,200 members voted for the strike, British Airways said, around 7% of its total crew.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said he was "delighted" the talks were going ahead.
"Given the huge profits BA's parent company made last year, the mixed fleet's calls for a living wage and for equal treatment at work and in their pay packets must be heard," he said.
A BA spokesman said the airline was pleased Unite had agreed to meet, adding: "We remain focused on resolving this as quickly as possible for our customers."
Are we facing a Christmas of Discontent?
Christmas getaway: What you need to know
Unite argues that salaries for those on mixed fleet contracts - who have joined the airline since 2010 - are advertised at between £21,000 and £25,000, but, in reality, start at just over £12,000 plus £3 an hour flying pay.
It says they do "not have collective bargaining rights" and managers have "endured a six-year pay freeze".
BA said it had proposed a "fair and reasonable pay increase" in line with that accepted by other staff, and called the strike "calculated" and "completely unnecessary".
The airline - which employs around 16,000 cabin crew - said it was "appalled" Unite proposed to disrupt customers' travel plans on such special days.


Regional official Tim Roache has been elected to become the new general secretary of the GMB union.

Mr Roache, who is secretary of the union's Yorkshire region, won 56.7% of the vote, while the only other candidate, Paul McCarthy, from the North West region, had 43.3%.
The union is the third largest in the UK with more than 600,000 members.
Current general secretary Paul Kenny announced in the summer he was standing down after almost a decade in the job.
Mr Roache has 35 years experience at the GMB and led the Leeds City Council 13-week refuse and street cleaning strike in 2009 - the longest in the union's history.
He said he was "proud and humbled" to have been elected.
"I will repay GMB members' faith in me by leading a 21st Century union that fights for our members, their families and communities, every hour of every day."
Mr Roache also paid tribute to Mr Kenny for his work "that has made GMB the envy of the union movement".
Details of the handover date have yet to be agreed.
The GMB is one of the three largest affiliates to the Labour Party and is a significant financial contributor to the party locally and nationally.


Wasps opened their Champions Cup campaign with a record-breaking 12-try defeat of under-powered Italians Zebre.

Full-back Rob Miller crossed twice, with Jake Cooper-Woolley, Joe Simpson, Frank Halai and Ashley Johnson also scoring as the hosts claimed the bonus point well before half-time.
Simpson, Elliot Daly, Joe Launchbury, Josh Bassett, James Gaskell and Dan Robson added tries in the second half.
It is Wasps' highest points total and biggest winning margin in Europe.
Federico Ruzza scored twice for Zebre in their rare raids but they never threatened to deny Wasps - whose 12 tries are also a competition record for the club - less than the maximum four points from the match.
England coaches Steve Borthwick and Paul Gustard were in the Ricoh Arena stands and will report back on another mature performance from fly-half Danny Cipriani whose deft skills, with both hand and boot, dissected the Zebre defence before he was withdrawn after 52 minutes.
An enterprising cameo from 24-year-old replacement winger Josh Bassett - a member of England's Under-20 side for the 2012 Junior World Championship - might also have caught their eye.
However, the concession of tries from a poorly defended rolling maul and a sloppy interception when running from deep will have irritated Wasps' director of rugby Dai Young.
Kyle Eastmond, signed from Bath in the summer, made his first start for Wasps and, while he did not manage to add his name to the lengthy scoresheet, he set up Robson for the hosts' final score with a delicious no-look, back-of-the-hand off-load.
Wasps take on four-time winners Toulouse away on Sunday 23 October, with Pro12 champions Connacht completing Pool Two.

Eurozone leaders have broadly welcomed new proposals for Greek reforms amid hopes a deal can be struck within days to stop Greece defaulting on its debt.

Greece must repay a â‚¬1.6bn (Â£1.1bn) International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan by the end of the month. If it fails to do so, it risks crashing out of the euro and possibly the EU.
But would so-called "Grexit" actually be a disaster for Greece? Or could taking control of its own currency be the country's best way to prosperity - even if it resulted in a weakened eurozone?
Four expert witnesses spoke to the BBC World Service's Inquiry programme.
Cardiologist Giorgas Vichas runs the Metropolitan Community Clinic, a free health clinic in Athens set up by volunteer doctors.
"In the last three years, more and more of our patients are homeless, and have nothing to eat. When I told a patient who has high blood pressure that he should limit his salt intake, he replied that he eats at the church soup kitchen, and so he has no control over that.
"And when I prescribed aspirin to another patient with the normal instruction to take it half an hour after eating, he looked at me and said he hadn't eaten in three days. What people who don't live in Greece need to understand is that these are people who until recently had a completely normal life.
"Public hospitals in Greece have already run out of their funding for 2015 by June. Last month our social clinic gave medicines and supplies to ten public hospitals across Greece, because they couldn't buy them themselves.
"For us Greeks, that's the worst scenario, to stay in the eurozone under the current conditions, because the only things being produced by these policies are dead people, destitute people, and higher deficits."
Jens Bastian is an economist at the MacroPolis think tank in Greece.
"We are in uncharted territory. There is a lot of speculation going on, but we have no precedent, and we have no road map.
"Greece would have to introduce a new currency. It would immediately have to devalue vis-a-vis the euro. That would trigger inflation.
"Greece imports 48% of its food from abroad. Greece imports 80% of its energy, in particular fossil fuels. You would have pharmaceutical products that would become exorbitantly expensive, and would quickly create shortages. You would have rationing in the real economy.
"The social consequences of such a development would be major social disruption and major social inequality, which is already rising and which only would rise further and deepen the cleavages that exist in the society.
"Mitigating these effects would require financial resources. Where would Greece get that from? If you leave the eurozone, you would be a financial pariah in Europe for years to come. Greece would not be able to borrow in international capital markets.
"Grexit would not solve the underlying problems of the Greek real economy that have existed for decades, even when we had the drachma: a chronic lack of productivity, declining export capacity, and structural indebtedness.
"[Grexit] is often advocated by economists and by legal experts from outside Greece who do not have to bear the consequences of such a possible development. And my concern is for the social cohesion of this country, for the democratic glue of this society, and I do not want to face the consequences."
Frances Coppola is an independent economic commentator.
"In the short term after a euro exit, the Greek economy would look very bad indeed. In human terms, that does mean bankruptcies for small businesses; further cuts in wages; it could mean very high inflation.
"[But ] I think it's fair to say that Greece has not got from membership of the euro what it hoped. The principal effect of the single currency for Greece has been to make trading, oddly, more difficult.
"For example, you would think olive oil would be a principal export from Greece, but they've actually been overtaken by exports of olive oil from of all places, Germany. It imports raw olives, processes them, bottles the oil, and sells it more cheaply [than Greece can].
"One of Greece's major exports is actually petroleum products, refined oil. It's not feta cheese and olive oil at all. It has also historically been an important shipping source, both building and running shipping.
"It is an important trade hub for the region, and it could position itself as the trade hub for that 'Middle Eastern/Balkans gateway to Russia' region.
"Greece has a fragmented and disrupted political set up, some fair amount of corruption, a huge informal economy and this dominance of oligarchs in important sectors. They have to deal with all of that, and I don't see the EU helping them to make the institutional reforms and to eradicate corruption and break the oligarchic grip.
"The way the eurozone is going - with enforcing convergence through fiscal reform, and the commitment to austerity - actually makes it very hard to make reforms.
"One of the principal benefits of having their own currency for Greece would be to return control of their own affairs to them.
"When you join a single currency, when you use a currency that isn't yours, you give up control of your own economy. You adopt the policies of everybody using that currency, and in particular the policies of the strongest member, which in this case is Germany.
"When you start using somebody else's currency, in effect you've become a vassal state of that somebody else."
Dimitris Christopoulos is associate professor of Comparative Politics at Panteion University in Athens, and vice president of the International Federation for Human Rights.
"I'm not for Europe because I like Europe's aesthetics. I'm for Europe because Europe represents a key prudent answer to a security argument.
"For the majority of Greeks, EU membership is the formal, solemn recognition of Greece belonging to Europe. Becoming a eurozone member was part of a long transition from an unstable political regime to democracy and a consolidated rule of law.
"The fact that the EU, the Central Bank and the IMF are exercising such pressure on Greece to remain on the good path, means that the country represents high political significance.
"You have Israel, you have Lebanon, you have Syria, you have Turkey, which is not in a very safe situation today. To the north you have the whole Caucasus region which is a problem, and then of course you have Ukraine.
"You have Egypt, a dictatorship supported by the westerners in order to deal with the Muslim Brotherhood. And next you have a country which is already a failed state, Libya. Inside this triangle you have Greece. Despite its problems over the last 40 years [it has] represented a point of stability.
"If we decide to push the Greek government to the extreme of leaving the eurozone, I'm not sure where Greece will be in two or three years.
"We have had a re-emergence of the most atrocious form of far-right political extremism, because Golden Dawn is not a populist, nationalist, extremist party, it's a Nazi party. We're talking about a political ideology which is constructed around the biological differentiation of people, of humans and sub-humans. Imagine in this mess having to also deal with that.
"Exit from the eurozone [would create] political and financial instability, and when frustration rises, people turn to the far-right.
"When I speak to colleagues from the EU and other international organisations, I want to highlight the Greek history. I want to highlight the emergence of this far-right beast who is able to destroy Europe, to destroy the idea of togetherness. This is what bothers me."

Radamel Falcao's mother has said the striker is "unhappy" at Manchester United and could leave in the summer.

The Colombian joined United on-loan from Monaco in September but has scored just four goals in 28 appearances.
Falcao, 29, has only started one of United's last eight Premier League matches - the 1-0 loss at Chelsea.
"Even if he's unhappy not to be in the starting XI, he has to accept the coach's decisions," Carmenza Zarate told Colombian newspaper El Espectador.
"I often remind him that after a test or a difficulty, blessings arrive. If God shows him a new path, he'll leave Manchester; if not, he'll stay. We hope for bigger and better things.
"God hasn't abandoned us and my son will become again what he has been, a goal scorer."
Before his move to Old Trafford, Falcao was one of the most prolific strikers in the world with 104 goals in 139 games for Porto, Atletico Madrid and Monaco.
He suffered an anterior cruciate ligament in January 2014 that kept him out of the World Cup before joining United in September.
However, Falcao, who earns approximately £265,000-a-week at United, has not scored since his goal against Leicester City on 31 January.
Ms Zarate added: "It's not a normal situation given what he has experienced in his career, but it happens in football.
"Not everything has been easy in Falcao's life. He has had some difficult moments in his career.
"They slowed his progress and prevented him from participating in important competitions like the World Cup, or have confined him to the bench, like in Manchester."


A Labour AM has been accused of "lowering the tone" of the EU debate by comparing a Leave vote to a man getting divorced because he thinks "young women are available".

Pro-EU Swansea East member Mike Hedges made the remark while explaining why he thought Brexit posed a risk.
UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill, who is campaigning for a Leave vote, said the remark was "shameful".
Mr Hedges later apologised for the remark.
He had told BBC Wales: "It's like getting divorced after 43 years.
"It might look better on the outside with all these young women available to you.
"But I think the reality may well be something different."
In response Mr Gill said: 'It's shameful for anyone - let alone a member of the Welsh assembly - to lower the tone of debate in a way that may be seen as offensive.
"The vote on 23 June is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he added.
"A vote to Remain is a vote to continue to send Â£350m to the EU every week, rather than spending it on our own priorities such as higher education and scientific research."
Mr Hedges later apologised on Twitter, saying the comments "should have been gender neutral".


Aberdeen have posted a record turnover and another profit but warned of "significant challenges" in raising funds to complete their move from Pittodrie to a new stadium.

The club's annual accounts show turnover for last season was up by £337,000 to £13.4m.
An operating profit of £448,000 was slightly down on the previous year.
The Scottish Premiership club's wage bill increased by about £150,000 to £6.8m.
According to chief executive Duncan Fraser, that was "as a direct result of our continuing investment in the overall quality of the playing squad" in a season in which they finished second behind Celtic.
But their wages to turnover ratio of 51% compares favourably to many clubs.
The report confirmed that planning application for a new stadium at Kingsford, seven miles west of the city centre, would be submitted before the end of the year.
Chairman Stewart Milne said: "We have now completed the opening round of public consultations and, whilst there are specific issues to be addressed in relation to traffic management, there is also widespread support across various supporters' groups for the Kingsford site.
"Subject to planning consent being obtained, the proposed site layout will feature much-needed training, community and youth academy facilities.
"The final stadium design will incorporate many of the features being proposed in feedback received from supporters and as part of the detailed consultation process that was undertaken in July."
Milne said that the club and project team were visiting stadia in the United Kingdom and northern Europe to collect ideas for the facilities.
However, he added: "There are significant challenges ahead, not least in the raising of the funds that will be required to deliver the project, which would provide the club, the community trust and our youth academy with appropriate facilities and infrastructure to increase their portfolio of activities in the local area.
"The fact that we have continued to make progress, both on and off the field of play, without a permanent training base and with accommodation that is simply not fit for purpose in the 21st century is quite remarkable and demonstrates what great potential there is for this club if we were operating on a level playing field with the competition.
"If we can maintain the momentum on the playing front and build our average home attendances, that will greatly assist in raising the finances that can deliver the much-needed facilities that can take our club to new levels on so many fronts."


Next year's Rugby World Cup will add £982m of value to the UK economy, says a report commissioned by the tournament's organising committee.

The research, by accountancy firm EY, predicts the tournament will attract a total of 466,000 visitors, who will spend as much as £869m.
The 2015 Rugby World Cup will be hosted in 11 cities across England and Wales.
In terms of single sporting events, only the football World Cup brings in more paid spectators, the report added.
Spending on food and drink by ticketholders will generate as much as £32m in revenue, EY calculated,  and a further £13m will be spent in "fanzones" - city centre shopping attractions with a Rugby World Cup theme.
The report also estimated the benefit to host cities of improved infrastructure, through investment in transport and stadia.
Debbie Jevans, who is in charge of England Rugby 2015, said the report proved that the tournament was "set to create a wide range of economic opportunities across many different sectors".
She added: "Whether through investment in infrastructure, supporting jobs or generating revenue in 'fanzones', the economic benefits will be shared around our 11 host cities and beyond."


Worcester Warriors scrum-half Jonny Arr has signed a new contract with the Premiership club.

The 27-year-old came through the youth ranks at Sixways and has made 173 first-team appearances.
"I have witnessed a lot of change but, under the current regime, we're in the perfect place to become the best we've ever been," Arr told the club website.
"I want to continue to be a part of developing Warriors into a successful top-tier side."
Arr, who has been with the club since he was 10 years old, made his first-team debut in 2007 and also helped England's Under-20 side win the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2008.
"Jonny epitomises everything we are trying to achieve at this club," added Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan.
"He recognises the importance of competition for places to make a strong squad and continues to raise his game.
"His commitment, professionalism and experience are key attributes and he is a great role model for our younger players."
The length of his new contract has not been disclosed by the club.


The new head of Police Scotland has been formally sworn in during a ceremony at the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan Castle in Fife.

Phil Gormley has taken over from Sir Stephen House, who stood down as chief constable at the end of November after three years in the job.
Mr Gormley was previously the deputy director of the National Crime Agency.
He has also served as the chief constable of Norfolk Police.
And he was responsible for the merger of Special Branch and the Anti-Terrorist Branch to form the Counter-Terrorism Command while working as a commander with the Metropolitan Police.
Mr Gormley, who will receive a salary of about Â£212,000 a year, described his new job as the pinnacle of his policing career.
The new chief constable said: "It's an honour to have been selected to lead Police Scotland.
"I'm acutely aware of the significant responsibility and expectation that comes with role."
"This is one of the most demanding jobs in British policing and I feel immensely proud to have been chosen to lead the men and women of Police Scotland through the next stage of its journey."
He added: "There is no doubt we are in a challenging financial environment - despite the savings already made, it is my responsibility working with colleagues to deliver the best service possible with the available resources.
"This will require difficult decisions but I am determined that we will develop a service the public trust and have confidence in and which our officers and staff are proud to provide."

Mr Gormley takes over in the wake of criticism of the force's policies on issues including stop-and-search and armed officers, as well as its handling of the M9 crash near Stirling in July that left two people dead after officers took three days to respond.
Police Scotland officers are also being investigated over Sheku Bayoh's death in custody in Kirkcaldy last May.
The Scottish Police Federation, which represents the vast majority of the force's officers, has warned Mr Gormley that he will be operating in a financial climate that has never been more difficult.
And it has said he will be facing a workforce that has recently reported "unprecedented high levels of dissatisfaction with the job".
Concerns have also been expressed about Mr Gormley, who faced competition for the top job from Police Scotland deputy chief constables Iain Livingstone and Neil Richardson, having spent his entire career in England.
But the Scottish Police Authority said it was confident it had appointed the best person for the job of "building on the progress that policing in Scotland has made, and to address the issues and challenges that the service faces".
And Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has said that Mr Gormley brings with him a "wealth of experience in policing communities across the UK, including an extensive background in counter-terrorism"
Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes said Mr Gormley must begin work immediately to address the challenges facing the force.
She said: "I have sought an early meeting with him to discuss how he plans to ensure officers and staff get the support they need to do their jobs well and enjoy them but the SPA and Scottish government must also ensure they provide the resources required.
"The public's faith in Police Scotland must be restored and steps taken right away to get the force back on track."


The failure to remove Frank Cushnahan from Nama's Northern Ireland advisory board was "a failure of corporate governance", a report has concluded.

The report, which examines the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio, was carried out by the Irish Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC)
Mr Cushnahan, a Belfast businessman, was on the board from 2010 until 2013.
He was a financial adviser to seven different Nama debtors, an interest he disclosed at the time as required.
However, the PAC said the he should have been removed from the board when those interests were disclosed.
That goes further than an earlier report by the Irish Auditor General.
It said Nama should "have formally considered" whether Mr Cushnahan's involvement in discussion of its Northern Ireland strategy was consistent with his involvement as a financial adviser to debtors.
Nama, an Irish state agency, was established in 2009 to take control of billions of euros of bad property loans which were damaging the Irish banks.
It sold its entire Northern Ireland portfolio to Cerberus, a US investment fund, for Â£1.24bn in 2014.
The PAC has concluded that the sales process, which lead to a loss of Â£162m, was "seriously deficient" and Nama had been unable to show it got value for money for the state.
It said that key elements of the sale were influenced by one of the bidders, US fund Pimco.
The report also finds it was not "procedurally appropriate" for the Irish Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, to meet with Cerberus, as it could have given the perception of preferential treatment.
This conclusion was disputed by committee members from Mr Noonan's Fine Gael party.
Mr Cushnahan has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to the deal.


A £5 coin has been minted to mark 600 years since the Battle of Agincourt.

The coins, released by the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff, depict the battle.
The Battle of Agincourt was a major victory in the Hundred Years' War and took place on 25 October 1415 in a field in Picardy, northern France.
The coins will retail at £1,650 for the gold proof coin and £80 for the silver proof coin.


China's credit rating has been cut over fears that growth in the world's second-biggest economy will slow in the coming years.

Moody's, one of the world's big three ratings agencies, cut China by one notch to A1 from Aa3.
It was the first time the agency has downgraded the country since 1989.
China's finance ministry said Moody's was exaggerating the mainland's economic difficulties and underestimating reform efforts.
The downgrade could raise the cost of borrowing for the Chinese government.
The ratings agency also changed its outlook for China to stable from negative.
Moody's said that the downgrade reflected expectations that China's financial strength would "erode somewhat over the coming years, with the economy-wide debt continuing to rise as potential growth slows".
The other two main credit rating agencies have so far left their evaluations unchanged.
Standard & Poor's rating for China currently stands at AA- with a negative outlook, while Fitch's rating is A+ with a stable outlook.
The Chinese economy expanded by 6.7% in 2016 compared with 6.9% the previous year, the slowest growth since 1990.
This is the first time that Moody's has cut its investors ratings on Chinese debt in more than a quarter of a century, so it is pretty significant.
However, it is not the first time that international institutions have sounded alarm bells about China's rising debt levels. They have been going off for the past few years.
What this ratings downgrade on China's debt boils down to is whether you believe the Chinese government has the ability to write off this debt. Does Beijing somehow have an ability to extend infinite credit lines, or at least reduce debt levels? And can it do so while trying to maintain strong economic growth figures?
Moody's has obviously come down on the side of the naysayers.
In its statement it points to slowing Chinese growth and rising debt levels to keep the economy expanding. It also says that reforms may take a backseat to growth priorities.
Remember: this is a critical time for President Xi Jinping, who faces a key political congress towards the end of the year. A strong economy gives him credibility and legitimacy - and China observers tell me that the perception of stable growth is crucial for him at this time.
This is why negative assessments from international financial institutions such as Moody's on Chinese debt are unlikely to go down well in Beijing.
China's debt stands at something like 260% to GDP. Higher debt levels usually mean a higher level of risk.
But it is worth noting that most of this debt is held by Chinese state-owned enterprises or "quasi-state" like entities - not international investors - so it is less likely to have a spillover effect into other economies.
All the same, as the world's second-largest economy, what happens in China matters to the rest of the world.
China's impact on global economy
China is the world's second-biggest importer of both goods and services.
It also plays an important role as a buyer of oil and other commodities, and its slowdown has been a factor in the decline in the prices of such goods.
Beijing's aim to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption has led to major challenges for manufacturers, and there have been layoffs - especially in heavily staffed state-run sectors such as the steel industry.
The downgrade comes as Beijing tries to clean up its lending practices, which have been viewed as a threat to financial stability.


Turkish authorities have charged an ex-boyfriend with the shooting of a young talent show contestant.

Mutlu Kaya, 19, is in a critical condition after being shot on Monday in Diyarbakir province, a conservative region in south-east Turkey.
A gun was fired from the garden and through a window of her house as she rehearsed.
Her ex-boyfriend, identified as Veysel E, has been charged with attempted murder.
Local media reported he had denied the accusation, although he admitted to being "opposed to Mutlu Kaya's participation on the show".
The 26-year-old was one of three men detained by authorities, but the other two were later released.
Ms Kaya had reportedly received death threats for singing on Sesi Cok Guzel - roughly translated as Sounds Beautiful - a popular song contest similar to shows like Britain's Got Talent and The Voice.
Her father, Mehmet Kaya, told the BBC's Turkish service his daughter remained unconscious in hospital.
He said the shooting took place in the early hours of Monday morning, while he was asleep.
Ms Kaya "was busy practicing her song" with her sister when "there was a knock on the window".
The attacker had previously knocked on the door but "my kids didn't answer it," he continued.
"When they again didn't open the window, he broke it, drew the curtain and shot my girl in the head."
"He had bothered my girl three or four times before, insisting 'you will marry me'," Mr Kaya said. "The girl was clear, she wouldn't marry him. I hope God will help us."
Ms Kaya had been mentored on the TV show by Sibel Can, one of Turkey's best-known folk singers.
After the shooting, she posted a picture of the teenager on Instagram, writing: "My beautiful girl Mutlu, how could they wound you? I am very sad."
The Posta newspaper reported on Sunday Ms Kaya had received death threats after appearing on the show.
It suggested they had come from members of her father's clan, something which he strenuously denied.
"The media portrayed our situation badly," he told the BBC. "They are claiming her father did this.
"Yes I am in a tribe. But we don't have any of this honour killing nonsense. I enrolled my daughter into school myself. We are knowledgeable. We are a family that believes in democracy. Would any father do anything like this to his daughter?
"I am proud of her. And then am I to hurt her? There is no truth to those claims."
Ms Kaya's uncle described the shooting as "violent barbarity".
"It can't be described in any other way," Mehmet Nesih Gunes told the BBC.
"She was so young. Beginning her career. To try to kill someone like that is to kill humanity."


Left-wing ex-Education Minister Benoit Hamon and ex-PM Manuel Valls will contest a run-off to become the Socialist candidate in France's presidential election in April.

It was clear the pair would advance from a field of seven after half the votes were counted in Sunday's primary.
The run-off will be held next Sunday.
Opinion polls suggest that whoever wins will have little chance of reaching the final round of the presidential election in May.
Inside the Socialists' battle for the future
With half of the votes counted, Mr Hamon, 48, who was sacked by the government of President Francois Hollande, was ahead on 36.1%, with centrist Mr Valls, 54, on 31.2%.
Another left-winger, Arnaud Montebourg, was in third place.
But the extent of the top pair's lead ensured they would not be caught.
Mr Valls said the choice in the second round would be "between an assured defeat and possible victory".
Mr Hamon said voters had sent "a clear message of hope and revival and a desire to turn a new page in the history of the Left and of France".
The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says that in the second round Mr Hamon can count on the support of Mr Montebourg and so that should give him a clear advantage.
Our correspondent says Mr Hamon represents the angry, radical wing of the Socialist party - the part that totally disowns the legacy of President Hollande - his main idea being a basic minimum income to fight poverty.
But, he says, however convincing his primary success, he is hobbled by the Socialist party's deep unpopularity in the country.
Mr Hollande, whose approval rating has set a new low for the office, decided not to seek re-election.
The Socialists' choice of nominee may also determine the future of popular independent candidate Emmanuel Macron, a charismatic ex-banker who appeals to the same moderate voters as Mr Valls.
The final round in May is expected to become a battle between the conservative former Prime Minister Francois Fillon, and Marine Le Pen - leader of the far-right National Front (FN).
Read more on France's main presidential candidates:
Mr Fillon is widely expected to emerge as the winner. His proposals include cutting business taxes, relaxing labour laws, and scrapping France's 35-hour working week in an attempt to boost growth.
He would also cut half a million public sector jobs as part of a drive to shrink the state sector.


What do you do if your grades are different from those you were expecting?

Continuing changes to secondary education mean the situation can be confusing.
With only a few days to secure a sixth-form place or take an alternative path, such as an apprenticeship or vocational college course, getting the right advice is key.
Vicky Coleman, an adviser with the National Careers Service, is offering advice to readers.
My daughter is in year 10 and has received her results today. She is devastated that she got C and D grades in her science exams - and a C in English literature.  Can these exams be sat again?
Diane, Gloucestershire
I'm sorry that your daughter did not get what she was expecting, although she should still be really proud of the C grades she has received. As she is only in year 10, she still has plenty of time to resit exams if she so wishes.
It is possible to retake maths, English language and English (combination of literature and language) in November but unfortunately it is not possible to resit English literature on its own at this time. However your daughter can resit all of her exams next summer including science and English literature, it could help to speak to her school if she would like to resit, as they would be able to give her more information on their processes for resits.
Most colleges and sixth forms will accept young people with four or five GCSEs at C grades and there are lots of other opportunities now post-16 such as apprenticeships and vocational qualifications. Your daughter still has lots of doors open to her and she should be very proud of what she has achieved so far.
I have a better grade than I have expected, as a result of very hard work. My question is, I want to try better sixth forms than the ones I have got. How do I go about doing this, as I did not apply to these schools originally?
Adannaya, Edmonton
Firstly, a huge congratulations on your grades. It's fantastic to hear that all of your hard work has paid off. If you would like to go to a different sixth form or college, you would need to speak to them directly to see if you can get a place. The website Ucas Progress is great for looking for level-three courses in your local area. There is also a course-search facility on the National Careers Service website. After you have found colleges or sixth forms that would be of interest to you, I would suggest giving them a phone call over the next week to find out about places and their admissions process.
My daughter has received her GCSE results and is disappointed with some of her grades. She had very good course work results and studied hard for the exams but in four subjects in particular she is gutted.  These are geography where she was predicted A* and she got a B, English language where she had extra tuition and was expecting an A and got B, history predicted high A got a B and music predicted A and got C.  Is there anyway to find out what went wrong?
Mrs Chawner, Stourbridge
I'm sorry that your daughter is disappointed with some of her grades. B and C grades are still really good and she should be really proud of her achievement. It may be a good start to speak to her teachers. As they know your daughter personally, they may have some ideas as to why she didn't get the grades that she was expecting.
It could also be an option to get her papers re-marked. There is usually a cost associated with this and grades can go down as well as up - so it may help to take a look at how close she was off higher or lower grades before making this decision. If you would like to go ahead with this, you would need to speak to the exam officer at her school.
It's important to remember that her grades are still very good. They leave the door open for her to pursue a number of different options. So although she is disappointed, there's nothing to suggest that any barriers to her future career have been created. If she wanted to explore specific careers and their entry requirements, it could help for her to take a look at the job profile section of the National Careers Service website.
My daughter got all A*s apart from in drama where the visiting assessor gave her a B for her GCSE performance. She has a merit at grade eight drama with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. It seems ridiculous. Why are the grade boundaries in drama totally different to any other subject?
Brian, Northwood
Congratulations on your daughter's magnificent exam results. She must have worked very hard. I'm sorry that she didn't get the grade that she was hoping for in drama. Grade boundaries vary between different exams so that they are standardised in level of difficulty. I know this may seem frustrating, but it ensures fairness across subjects. It may help to speak to her drama teacher to get a better understanding of why your daughter didn't get the grade that she was hoping for.
Fairly pleased about my results of seven A* grades, five As and one B in English language. However, on my results paper it said that my English coursework was a C, when my English teacher said it was a firm high A? Could there be a mistake with my results?
Natasha, Surrey
Well done on your results! Those are excellent. You must be very happy. A proportion of coursework gets sent to external examiners to make sure that grading is standardised. It could be a possibility that although your teacher graded the coursework as an A, the examiner has actually marked this at a C. If you feel that your coursework was not marked correctly you may want to look into getting the paper remarked. If this is something that you would like to do, you would need to speak to the exam officer at your school. There is usually a cost associated with this and grades have a tendency to go down as well as up. So you may want to consider this carefully. It could help to take a look at the mark for your coursework to see how close to the grade boundary you were.
My son got nine A* grades and three As in his GCSEs as well as a B and a C in AS-level maths papers. He is having the B remarked as he was one point off an A and will resit the C.  In the past he could have resat the exams in January but this is no longer possible. Why are there no longer resits in January?  Surely it would be less pressure for students to resit then as they would only have to revise for a couple of exams instead of eight or nine.
Victoria, Upminster
Those are some brilliant grades there! You both must be very proud. As your son is already enrolled it should be a possibility for him to resit the AS maths next January if he wishes. Those students starting in September 2013 will now have to wait until the summer. If he would like to resit I would suggest he speak to his exam officer at his school who would be able to give you both more information on how he would go about doing this. If this is not an option at his current school you could both take a look at the Ucas Progress website to find an alternative.
You also asked why resits are no longer available in January. I agree that a change can take some time to get used to - but that doesn't necessarily mean things will be harder for students. Having the exams at one point in the year will take some of the pressure off students throughout the rest of the year. This will also give them more of an opportunity to learn things that they will remember and learn in the long run as opposed to 'cramming' for one or two exams.
If you are concerned, it may help to speak to an adviser who you can discuss your son's options with. The National Careers Service is open from 08:00-22:00, seven days a week if you would like to talk further.
My daughter has received her GCSE results today. The nature of the courses she did over the last two years were modular, and she has just received the marks for the last module giving her an overall mark for all the modules.  I understand that this year they are tightening up the marking, making it harder to achieve a higher grade. Are they saying that the modules examined this summer are being marked to stricter guidelines than those taken earlier in the course? Surely, all modules must be marked according to the same standard. You should not be changing the standard for those modules taken at the end of the course.
Allan, Billericay
I understand you are concerned that your daughter is being treated fairly and it's great that you are seeking more information. Because exam papers differ between exam boards and each year, the level of difficulty can vary slightly. The awarding process has to take this into account to ensure that grades are fair from year to year. Senior examiners judge the difficulty of each paper by looking at samples of candidates' work from the current year and previous years, as well as statistical data about candidates' performance. They then decide on where the grade boundaries should be, using the 'raw marks' - the marks the candidates scored on the exam paper. For example, a candidate might need 40 raw marks out of 50 for an A grade one year, but 42 out of 50 the next, depending on the level of demand of the paper.
In short, the process is put in place to make it fair from paper to paper and not to put students at a disadvantage. If you are concerned it could help to speak to an exam officer at your daughter's school. There is also the exam results helpline (0808 100 8000) open over the exam period.
My son, taking the first of his science GCSE's at end of year 10, achieved two Bs and two Cs for the four papers, with an overall result of 69.75%, yet only got an overall mark of C. His friend also got a C, yet only achieved three Cs and a D. How can they both get the same overall grade? And how can an overall mark of near on 70% only be a C grade?
Russell, Chelmsford
I understand the change from marks to grades can be very confusing so it's great that you are seeking some advice on this. It's hard for me to say exactly why your son's friend got the same overall grade without seeing his individual marks. It could be that although he got three Cs, they were each very high marks - just off a B grade. This could make his total mark come out at a C, even with the D in one paper.
If you feel that your son's paper has been marked incorrectly, you could consider getting his papers re-marked. You should think about this carefully if you want to proceed as a cost will usually be attached to this and grades have been known to go down as well as up. If this is something that you want to consider, you would need to speak to the exam officer at his school. It could also be a good idea to speak face to face to someone at his school anyway, who would be able to go through his individual marks.
Whatever you both decide to do, you should be very proud of your son's grades. A C grade is fantastic - especially at the end of year 10.


Brazil's beleaguered President Dilma Rousseff has told the BBC she is an "innocent victim" and she will fight on as possible impeachment looms.

She vowed to "keep fighting... to come back to government if the impeachment request is accepted".
Ms Rousseff is accused of manipulating government accounts, which she denies.
The Senate will decide whether to start an impeachment trial next week. If that happens she will be suspended from office for 180 days.
Recent polls conducted by Brazil's major newspapers suggest that a majority of the 81 senators will vote in favour of the trial.
In the wide-ranging interview with the BBC's Wyre Davies, President Rousseff also said:
"Yes, I believe, indeed, that I am a victim. And, of course, yes I am innocent. And at the same time, I am an innocent victim," Ms Rousseff said.
"What we in the government believe and what my supporters believe is that the ongoing impeachment process is illegitimate and illegal.
"Because it is ultimately based on a lie, i.e. an indirect election under the guise of an impeachment process."
And the president stressed: "What we will do is to resist, to resist, and to resist. And further fight to ensure that we will come out victorious on a merit basis and resume office."
Ms Rousseff is accused of manipulating budget figures in 2014 to make her government's economic performance appear better than it was - ahead of her re-election.
The president has defended her government's fiscal measures as common practice in Brazil.
Dilma Rousseff, who I've watched and observed closely over recent weeks as the likelihood of impeachment has loomed closer, seemed more relaxed and prepared to smile than she's been for some time.
She's never come across as a supremely confident politician with a zeal for the hurly-burly of politics, especially in Brazil's brutal deal-making party system.
Perhaps, in one way, the president has become resigned to her immediate fate - that the Senate will vote to subject her to a full impeachment trial, triggering her suspension from the presidency for up to 180 days.
On the other hand, Ms Rousseff sounded more determined than ever to fight on - to come back after suspension, and resume the last two years of her term in office.
The president is absolutely convinced of the unfairness and illegality, as she puts it, of the case against her.
On the wider matter of corruption in her government, she insisted that she knew nothing of the rampant corruption at the state oil giant Petrobras, despite being the former chairman of the board.
Last month, the lower house of Brazil's Congress comfortably approved starting impeachment proceedings against her.
The Senate is expected to vote on the issue next week.
If she is impeached, Vice-President Michel Temer will take over as interim president.
Ms Rousseff has accused him of being one of the ringleaders of the "coup" attempt against her.
Last month, a Supreme Court judge ordered the lower house of Congress to create a commission to analyse whether impeachment proceedings against Mr Temer should go ahead over allegations that he manipulated government accounts to hide a growing deficit.
Mr Temer rejects the accusations.
Senate vote on trial: A simple majority is enough to suspend her for up to 180 days while she is put on trial. Vice-President Michel Temer would step in during this period.
Impeachment vote: For Ms Rousseff to be removed from office permanently, two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favour. Mr Temer would remain president for an interim period should this happen.


Jason Day suffered a back injury in his opening pool match at WGC-Dell Match Play but still managed to defeat Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell 3&2.

The Australian world number two appeared to pick up the problem on the 16th tee and went for treatment following his victory.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy only secured his win over Thorbjorn Olesen on the last hole when the Dane bogeyed.
World number one Jordan Spieth overcame Wales' Jamie Donaldson 3&2.
Five-time major champion Phil Mickelson recorded a 5&4 victory over England's Matthew Fitzpatrick.
World number five Rickie Fowler lost to Jason Dufner, who posted a 2&1 victory, and two-time runner-up Paul Casey of England was beaten 2&1 by Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee.
England's Andy Sullivan, who recorded three European Tour wins last year, defeated Austria's Bernd Wiesberger 3&2.
The five-day tournament features the top 64 in the world. The golfers are split into 16 groups of four for a round-robin format which takes place over the first three days. The event then becomes a straight knockout at the weekend among the 16 group qualifiers.


A toy car thought to belong to missing toddler Ben Needham was found during police searches on Kos, according to the Find Ben Needham campaign.

The 21-month-old, from Sheffield, went missing on the Greek island in 1991.
Police said on Monday they believed he died as a result of an accident on the day he disappeared.
Ben's sister, Leigh-Anna Needham, told ITV's Good Morning Britain the car had been shown to them and her grandmother thought it could have been Ben's.
"She is 90% sure, it is similar but we cannot be 100% sure," she said.
Ben's mum 'would tear up island'

New searches on Kos, where the Needham family were renovating a farmhouse in 1991, were prompted by fresh information given to South Yorkshire Police.
A friend of a digger driver, who was clearing land with an excavator on the day the toddler went missing, said the man may have been responsible for Ben's death.
The driver, Konstantinos Barkas, died of cancer in 2015.
The yellow car is believed to have been found shortly before the searches concluded on Sunday.
Det Insp Jon Cousins, who is leading the inquiry, said after 21 days of searching it was his "professional belief" Ben had died in an accident.
Leigh-Anna Needham said she understood why the police had come to that conclusion but she was not completely convinced.
"Without definite proof there is still hope," she said.
"We were told to prepare for the worst. We thought they were going to find him and bring him back and we would have to deal with the grieving process.
"But there is still hope and I will fight tooth and nail to get to the bottom of this.
"It has destroyed my family and I am determined to find out what happened on that day."
South Yorkshire Police said the investigation remained open and any further leads in the case would be fully investigated.
Ms Needham told BBC Look North: "Every time the phone rings your heart sinks, you don't want to actually admit that they were ever going to find anything to suggest that Ben may no longer be alive.
"I can't say the word [dead], it makes me feel physically sick.
"There's not enough evidence for me as yet to give up and to believe that he died that day. Until I have solid evidence, ie remains, that's when the grieving process will start."


Individuals could be at risk of running short of retirement funds after cashing in their pension pots, analysis of overseas schemes suggests.

The Social Market Foundation, a left of centre think tank, studied policies in Australia and the US that are similar to the UK's pension reforms.
It found a significant proportion of people withdraw funds at an unsustainable rate.
In the UK, thousands have cashed in their pension pots since April.
The new rules, which came into force in April, allow pension savers to cash in their pension pots from the age of 55.
This is one of a number of options for savers. In doing so, they pay no tax on the first 25% of these funds, but pay the normal rate of tax on the rest.
Figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) found that 146,000 people cashed-in pension pots in the six months since April, withdrawing a total of Â£2.7bn.
Separate data, recorded slightly differently, from the Association of British Insurers suggested that Â£2.5bn was withdrawn over the same period in 166,700 cash lump sum payments, with an average withdrawal of just under Â£15,000.
Research by financial firms indicates that the funds are being used to pay off debt, upgrade the car or go on holiday.
The Social Market Foundation warned that evidence from overseas revealed a danger of pensioners spending money too quickly.
It said four out of 10 Australians with pension savings spent them all by the age of 75, while Americans typically withdrew at an unsustainable rate of 8% a year.
The think tank is urging the government to give older people a mid-retirement financial health check, to assess how fast they are using up their money.
Early withdrawal of funds provides a tax income boost for the Treasury - it is expected to take double the amount it predicted during the first year of reforms.
However, if pensioners use up savings, the eventual effect is an increased reliance on benefits and the state - a long-term cost to the Treasury.
Providers suggest that people are taking relatively safe approach to retirement savings.
"It is clear that people are taking a sensible approach and considering how they will pay for their retirement," said Yvonne Braun, of the ABI.
"However, the figures also show that ensuring people save enough for retirement remains our key challenge. With life expectancy increasing and final-salary pension provision declining, we must now turn our attention to helping customers grow bigger pots."
Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "For most retiring investors, a mix and match strategy will work best, using a combination of state pension, annuity purchase and drawdown."


Modern humans and Neanderthals interbred in Europe, an analysis of 40,000-year-old DNA suggests.

The study suggests an early Homo sapiens settler in Europe harboured a Neanderthal ancestor just a few generations back in his family line.
Previous work has shown our ancestors had interbred with Neanderthals 55,000 years ago, possibly in the Middle East.
The new results reveal there was additional mixing once modern humans pushed north into Europe.
An international team of researchers has published its analysis of the ancient European genome in Nature journal.
The group successfully extracted and sequenced genetic material from a jawbone found in 2002 inside the cave system of PeÈ™tera cu Oase in south-west Romania.
The ancient man was found to be more closely related to Neanderthals than any other modern human (Homo sapiens) who has previously been analysed.
Between 6% and 9% of the Oase individual's genome is from Neanderthals - an unprecedented amount. By comparison, present-day Europeans have between 2% and 4%.
As DNA is passed on from generation to generation, segments are broken up and recombined, so that genetic material inherited from any one individual becomes interspersed with that of other ancestors.
The scientists found segments of Neanderthal DNA in the fossil that were large enough to indicate that the ancient man had a Neanderthal ancestor just four to six generations back.
"It's an incredibly unexpected thing," said Prof David Reich, a co-author of the paper from the Harvard Medical School.
"In the last few years, we've documented interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans, but we never thought we'd be so lucky to find someone so close to that event."
Co-author Prof Svante Paabo, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, said: "It is such a lucky and unexpected thing to get DNA from a person who was so closely related to a Neanderthal."
Previous analyses of ancient and modern human genomes (the DNA contained in the nucleus of our cells that acts as the blueprint for building a person) have shown that modern humans probably interbred with Neanderthals shortly after they migrated out of their African homeland.
This is because present-day people with roots outside sub-Saharan Africa carry a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA. This suggest the mixing event must have occurred before people spread into Asia, Europe and Oceania, diversifying into regional populations.
The new findings agree well with our knowledge of the archaeology. Radiocarbon dating of remains from sites across Europe suggests that modern humans and Neanderthals co-existed on the continent for some 5,000 years.
However, the 40,000-year-old individual from Oase was probably not responsible for passing on Neanderthal ancestry to present-day Europeans. The analysis shows the man was more closely related to modern East Asians and Native Americans than to today's Europeans.
"This sample, despite being in Romania, doesn't yet look like Europeans today," said Prof Reich.
"It is evidence of an initial modern human occupation of Europe that didn't give rise to the later population. There may have been a pioneering group of modern humans that got to Europe, but was later replaced by other groups."
To analyse the ancient DNA in the Romanian bones, researchers had to sift out an overwhelming amount of genetic material from other organisms. Most of that was from microbes that lived in the soil where the bone was found.
Of the fraction of a percent that was human DNA, most had been introduced by people who handled the bone after its discovery.
But co-author Qiaomei Fu, a postdoctoral researcher in Prof Reich's group at Harvard, solved that problem by restricting her analysis to DNA with a kind of damage that deteriorates the molecule over tens of thousands of years.
The study supports previous research by Prof Erik Trinkaus of Washington University in St Louis and colleagues showing that the jawbone and teeth possessed a mixture of modern and Neanderthal features.


MPs will get to have a say on the terms of Brexit negotiations, the Scottish Conservatives' constitution spokesman has told BBC Scotland.

It follows reports that MPs from across the political spectrum want a Commons vote on the issue.
Prof Adam Tomkins said parliament, not the government, will legislate for what replaces the European Communities Act.
The SNP's Europe spokesman Stephen Gethins said both the Scottish and UK parliament should have a vote.
The UK government intends to trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017.
Article 50 is the official process for exiting the EU and could take up to two years.
At the Conservative Party conference last week, Prime Minister Theresa May said the government would strike a deal with the EU as a "sovereign, independent" UK but her speech raised concerns among some that the UK is headed for a "hard Brexit" - without unfettered access to the single market.
She also gave details of a "Great Repeal Bill" which will scrap the European Communities Act which took Britain into the 1970s, and enshrine all existing EU law into British law.
There have been reports of a cross-party move, including Labour's Ed Miliband and Lib Dem Nick Clegg, to seek a stronger role for the Commons on Brexit.
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, Scottish Conservative MSP Mr Tomkins, said: "I don't understand where that concern comes from, frankly.
"The prime minister made it perfectly plain in her first conference speech that there is going to be a Great Repeal Bill, as she calls it, that will repeal the European Communities Act 1972, which is the legal instrument that took us in to the European Union in the first place in the 1970s.
"Now, only parliament can repeal legislation. The prime minister can't do that. The government can't do that."
Asked if MPs would actually be able to vote on the terms of Brexit negotiations, Mr Tomkins added:  "I think that repealing the European Communities Act will require parliament to have its say over what replaces the European Communities Act once it is repealed. That's the nature of legislation.
"Let me be absolutely clear about this, because it's a very elementary constitutional point. Only parliament can repeal parliament's legislation.
"The government can't do that and when parliament repeals its legislation it will be parliament that legislates for what replaces the European Communities Act, not Theresa May."
It has been reported that Mrs May is against holding a Parliamentary vote on the terms of Brexit negotiations. She has said MPs should be informed "at various stages" but told the BBC last week the government had to be able to negotiate but be sure that "we don't set out all the cards in our negotiation".
Last week the Scottish government's Brexit minister Mike Russell warned the Scottish Parliament might seek to block the "Great Repeal Bill" if Scotland's interests were not represented in negotiations.
Appearing on the Sunday Politics Scotland programme, SNP MSP Mr Gethins was asked if his party would be demanding that parliament be given the right to decide on the "type" of Brexit the UK chooses.
He said: "I think parliament should have a vote, both the Scottish Parliament and the UK Parliament.
"There has to be full parliamentary scrutiny. I've already put down an urgent question seeking Theresa May or the Brexit Secretary to come to the House tomorrow to talk about the triggering of Article 50."
Mr Gethins called on the UK government to provide more details about what Brexit will mean.
"We've had no answers on the single-market, no answers on EU nationals," he said.
"We are still waiting for details. Our European partners don't know what the UK government is planning to do next. They have had three-and-a-half months on this.
"We have had nothing from the UK government. They can't even tell us if they have the objective of remaining part of the single market."


Goals from Neeskens Kebano and Rui Fonte secured Fulham's first win of the season and ended Ipswich's 100% start to the Championship campaign.

They took a deserved first-half lead when Kebano lost his marker to head in Ryan Fredericks' cross from the right.
Fonte doubled the lead after the break, firing in the rebound from a narrow angle after Kebano had a shot saved.
Ipswich continued to struggle for possession and chances, as they fell to a first defeat in five league games.
The hosts only managed two shots on target, as they failed to make it five league wins from five at the start of a season for the first time in the club's history.
Fulham, meanwhile, were unfortunate not to score more, as Fredericks and Fonte both saw efforts hit by the woodwork in the first half.
Fonte's goal was his first for the club since arriving from Braga, but his afternoon was ended early when he went off with what appeared to be a groin injury 15 minutes from time.
Slavisa Jokanovic's side have now won three successive games against the Tractor Boys since a 2-1 home defeat at Craven Cottage in December 2015.
Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy:
"Sometimes you just have to take your hat off to your opposition. They were streets ahead of us. They absolutely bashed us up with and without the ball.
"We tried putting round pegs in square holes. We had players playing out of position due to injury and I didn't think it was right to go negative.
"There's no need to panic. We've had four good results without all of our squad available. You've got to remember that it's just one game, one result. We've won our other four league games."
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic:
"We didn't start the season like Ipswich did, but there's a huge number of games still in front of us.
"I expect we can start to be more positive now. We know we're not at our best level yet and we've made costly mistakes at the beginning of the season.
"We showed we didn't forget how to play good football. There is space for us to be better."

US President Barack Obama will trek through the wilderness in Alaska this week with British TV adventurer Bear Grylls, the NBC channel has announced.

He is due to tape an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls to observe the effects of climate change on the area, it said.
He is the first president to appear on the show, to be aired later this year.
President Obama is on a three-day tour of Alaska aimed at highlighting the pace of climate change.
It is part of his administration's efforts to build support for new legislation significantly capping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the US, as well as raise attention to the ways climate change has damaged Alaska's natural landscape.
Mr Obama follows several other high profile figures, including actresses Kate Winslet and Kate Hudson, who have tested their survival skills on the show.
Bear Grylls - a former British special forces soldier - puts celebrities through their paces in remote forests and mountains across the world, "pushing their minds and bodies to the limit to complete their journeys".
This week Mr Obama will become the first sitting US president to visit the Alaskan Arctic, where he is due to address foreign ministers from Arctic nations at a conference on climate change.
He is also scheduled to visit glaciers and meet fishermen and native leaders to discuss rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers and melting permafrost in the sparsely populated US state.
Before he departed for Alaska, President Obama announced he was changing the name of Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, to its original native Alaskan, Denali.
Earlier this month, the president unveiled plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions from US power stations by nearly a third within 15 years.
