What are Arriva's reasons for having a lower rate of pay for the southern part of the north east, than the northern depots?

I think it must go back to when Durham & Teesside was United and Northumbria was Northumbria. Quote me if I'm wrong though, just a general guess.

Historically different companies with different T&C.
Northumbria drivers don't have paid meal breaks, so their basic hourly rate is higher too.
Durham County still have a significant number of drivers who do get paid meal breaks, although since around 2016 new drivers to that part of the company don't get them.

A few days ago a GNE bus pulled up at Wheatley hill outside a newsagent and driver went inside and somebody asked the driver why the bus was outside and the driver said that he was route learning the 22 due to the upcoming strike, I wouldn’t of thought gne would step in.

I don't think this will happen - how could Go North East operate (and presumably take fares on) a service which they have not registered with the traffic commissioner?
Duplicating existing services which compete, and/or upgrading capacity on some routes, maybe.

I wasn’t there, I was told by someone else, otherwise I would of asked a few questions, I thought it was a it weird as well , I know in the past that services can be registered after the commencing date under certain circumstances. Just have to wait and see if the strike goes ahead, just I thought I might put it here just I case anybody else has heard anything.

Historically they were the same company!

I'm sure anyone who wanted to cover missing Arriva services during the strike would be granted short notice registrations? Would obviously depend on the skeleton service proposed though?

Still no information on which services will be running.......

They probably wont know themselves till they see how many drivers turn up for work. Im pretty sure when workers are planning on going on strike they dont need to inform their employer that they are going on strike or not.

(13 Dec 2018, 5:58 pm)Michael Still no information on which services will be running.......Supposedly getting some info today but then again we were promised information about what would be running by no later than yesterday morning, so take that with a pinch of salt and this "information" will no doubt just end up being another post saying more talks will be taking place tomorrow (assuming the matter hasn't been resolved, which so far appears to be the case although who knows really?!)
RE: Arriva North East: Planned Industrial Action - Pulsar - 14 Dec 2018
No official update yet but a lot of people on Facebook saying this strike has been cancelled. Does anybody know if this is correct?
