RE: Go North East - 2023 Pay Deal and Industrial Action
The onus surely has to be on GNE to sort this and it appears that the only solution is to get to, or close to, GNW wages for GNE drivers. Day to day conditions need looking at too otherwise staff retention seems unrealistic. If they don’t, the long term damage will not only be reputational but also to income. 

Living in an area with only GNE services except for an hourly X12 which is of no use to anyone really, I’ve made alternative arrangements to get lifts to and from work during the strikes so far and to work at home on others. Those arrangements have stayed in place in the intervening weeks without the strikes too. My colleague who has been kind enough to give me lifts gets a contribution to their petrol and parking and I get to ditch the dirty, old, unreliable bus. I guess I’m amongst the lucky ones for who this is possible, but I’m now very much an ex-bus commuter and I’m sure I’m not the only one. GNE only has itself to blame. 

Best of luck to the drivers, I hope they get what they’re worth.
