You've compared GNE to GNW and now GNE to SNE.
Is there something the GNW and SNE drivers are doing that GNE drivers aren't?
I don't think it's even limited to GNW and SNE given there are any number of bus companies paying their drivers a better wage than GNE, they're clearly *all* "more productive" than the GNE drivers.
How unlucky are GNE to have stumbled across some of the least "productive" drivers in the country?
Obviously how "productive" a bus driver is is very easily quantifiable, and something they themselves can definitely do something about.

Then you'd just have drivers in Manchester whinging because GNE drivers are paid the same but their cost of living is cheaper so they're effectively paid more
What's that got to do with how "productive" they are though, which is what is being given as the reasoning here?
