Over £3k less than what they're advertising they pay drivers and they're wanting a degree? Laughable.

Noticed First Group and Stagecoach don't have any restrictions on the degree and 2:2 aswell so guessing there's not much demand for across the industry for those who do well.

Those who do well aren't going to go and join a graduate scheme in an underperforming bus company unless they've got a burning desire to work in the industry or can't get a job elsewhere (which is unlikely, if they've done well). 

For £27k a year, this will act as an entry point for people who haven't achieved as well as required to go into what they intended to do. They'll gain experience, tell GNE to shove the £27k where the sun doesn't shine, and go and work where they actually wanted to work in the first place.
