Basically what they're saying is that the money doesn't really matter - they're leaving because of constant abuse (a driver in Sunderland apparently was nearly assaulted yesterday over the cancellations - won't be long until one actually is), the constant service changes, and the vehicles themselves.Tbf, since Sept Changes Deptford have had barely any parked buses (which aren't due to go on school routes) I think i've seen a Single Prince Bishops, 2 berries, however every 20/20A I've seen have been rammed.
What I'm saying is GNE are in a death spiral and the question is - how do they get out of it? I won't be surprised if they just sell off a depot with a bunch of routes, staff and vehicles.
Gateshead have had a few more parked up.
