But North of the River, Featham did stabilise the Arriva Northumbria business after a whacky period between 2007 (end of Steve Noble) and 2011/12.
Hopefully if GNE can sort their driver recruitment and retention siutation out, hopefully NF can have the same impact at GNE.
Likewise, if Martijn attempted what he did 15 year back (back in the Peter Huntley era), it probably would've worked. But what was needed coming out of the pandemic was totally different.
