I parked the car at a friend's today and thought I'd use their GNE service to get to work instead. That didn't work so well either ?

I don't think anyone knows what the answer is, no doubt some will shout that franchising will be the magical fix to everything but it won't be as there's simply not the driver's. Having Stagecoach at Blyth offering the exact same wages and terms (which is this deal appears to be is) isn't exactly going to magically find Driver's from fresh air.
