Now some people will ask why am asking this so let me explain
Arriva North West and Wales are the company up here a use the most but they seem to be on a retreat we have lost 2 Depots in the North West (Skelmersdale and Manchester) in Wales Llandudno has been reduced to an outstation and Holyhead outstation has been shut, later this month 4 more Welsh Depots/Out stations will be shut, going back to the North West most of the tendered services Arriva had have been lost and a lot of none tendered routes have been cut back to the point we think 3 Depots in the North West could be at risk of going, Drivers up here all think they going to be sold of but i do wonder if its not just going on up where i am but maybe here aswell?
It isn't just Arriva.
One of the other big operators in the area have also closed depots and are in the process of consolidating another two.
Apparently the actual numbers of vehicles in the area have also dropped from previous years.
All do to with profit by the looks of it in the North West too.
