The NOT City Transport Thread - MurdnunoC - 20 May 2026
Much like 'the war' in the Fawlty Towers episode 'The Germans', it seems that we are not allowed to mention the phrase "City Transport" (oops, sorry for mentioning it) in any context whatsoever. So what better place not to talk about Cit...(nearly mentioned it again), erm, "Them" than in this thread here....
I guess there are certain things you are definitely not allowed to mention, aside from the name of the company.
For example, and as stated elsewhere on the forum, the ongoing dispute between former drivers of the company not to be named, Nexus, and Go North East should probably not be talked about, nor should links be posted like this one here.
I'm also guessing, because the judge incorrectly ruled against the director of the company who shall not be named in an employment tribunal, then we probably shouldn't link to the case either.
There are probably other things we shouldn't mention, like the oddly named companies registered at Companies House by a certain director of a certain company either, especially as this information isn't easily accessible or in the public domain and is hidden behind a shrove of secrecy like some sort of super secret society or something.
These are just some guidelines of how this thread should operate. If the rest of the forum know of any things about the company that definitely should not be mentioned, then please list them here so people don't get into trouble.

As we’re currently private due to, er, server issues (need cloudfare to help with some of that) I shall stick with the era and say, ooh, you are awful.

I think we need a code word for Ci... I mean, that one bus company who's skint but refused to admit their skint.

I bet there are a few four-letter words being used, in code, to describe the director of the company that shall not be named.
But, seriously, there are other places on the internet discussing the predicament of the former drivers and how and when TUPE may apply:

So while he may be able to restrict debate here, his, and his company's reputation, already precede him.
