RE: Scotland Bus Operations - Unber43 - 04 May 2023 Alex Hornby has became McGills Managing Director. I'm surprised he lasted at TransDev this long I heard they wanted rid of his ASAP.

It always did amaze me how he could afford all of those holidays/research trips. Now he's been accused of fiddling and getting Transdev to pay for the trips. I wonder if Stenning and other 10%'ers are getting on the next Lumo train north?

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't see this lasting beyond 6 to 12 months.
