So, with that in mind, upgrading the 1 and 2 isn't just about changing the vehicle type overnight. I suspect costs associated with increasing driver rates of pay overnight make it a far less simple option than some people may think.
I thought that Blyth's drivers drive all routes. Do Arriva have driving units like GNE?
