I believe that Boxing Day is still a voluntary thing, and nobody is hauled into work against their will, so GNE can only work with how many drivers are willing to work. And going off the service level, I think that should answer your question as to who wants to spend time off work...!
Isn't it time that drivers started to be viewed along the lines of retail staff and other members of the service sector?
Not meaning to be derogatory to any sector, but the difference between a person on a till in a shop or a bar and a person on a ticketer in a bus, can essentially be split down in to one difference and that is one is driving a vehicle.
The long gone ambassador/Gtom said (and I agree), is that a driver is working within the service industry. I agree.
Other members of the service sector (bar staff, retail etc) are working. Why not bus drivers?
