(17 Apr 2014, 6:09 pm)Marcus Then all 3 main operators will have a go on it. When you think about it, wouldn't that mean a lot of jobs with Go North East would be lost? Would Arriva use their own drivers? Or, would they be transferred to Arriva? (like they did with the Hexham swaps?)

(17 Apr 2014, 8:02 pm)RGR756V When Arriva won the Durham P&R contract in 2009 most of the drivers transferred from Scarlet Band and were protected by TUPE regulations. I think this was a stipulation of the contract and presumably it will still stand.

(17 Apr 2014, 9:24 pm)tyresmoke Sure does Stu, it is mentioned a few times in the contract specification. Easily accessed by anyone registered with NEPO, which if course is open to everyone to register. Can see every big contract on there, obviously I'm only really interested in the public transport ones.
