Stranger in the depot! ![[Image: 0849b12f77b2b28608f6d2dbb7e85852.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201125/0849b12f77b2b28608f6d2dbb7e85852.jpg)
Stranger in the depot!
Go North East's Mercedes-Benz Citaro 5305 (NK08 CHN) is visiting us at the moment, as we assess its suitability as a potential replacement for our fleet of ex-First Volvo B7RLEs.
If suitable, it'll be one of 23 Citaros joining our fleet, with B7 withdrawals beginning in the new year.
It won't be out in service for us whilst it's on loan - but you may see it out and about on test!

I shall be pleased if these Go North East Citaros do come to Go North West as suggested above.

Oh dear! It doesn't look like relations are improving over at Queens Road.
To be honest, I'm surprised it's took them this long to do it.
No doubt when Go-Ahead acquired the depot, the employees will have been transferred over and been allowed to keep their original contract terms, and they want to move them over to an equivalent contract to that of the other subsidiaries.
The exact same thing has happened with most of the supermarkets over the last few years, where the older employees were on very old contracts which were very generous with the benefits they offered.
Keeping you moving through industrial action from Sunday 28 February

How many ex GNE Citaro's are now at GNW?

I particularly like this bit: "393 out of our 474 drivers (83%) volunteered to accept the new terms.", though voluntary choices usually don't come with statements like: “Go North West is issuing you with notice of the termination of your employment, which shall end on 8 May 2021”
Sounds more like having a gun held to your head.

Under a single identity too. Nice.
Wonder if GNW bother with any further roll out of route branding if it only has a couple of years lifespan. It may not be cost effective.
I just don't understand how people can see franchising bus services as a positive, but franchising rail services as a negative.
Either go fully publicly owned, or fully private.
