It was South Bank, service 64a that proved to be my departure point from the industry. After repeated attacks on drivers and vehicles it was my turn working a 64a board, it was most unsettling. Despite reassurances from management and the curtailment, for a time, it happened again. This time to a colleague and then on the following evening working the same shift I simply refused to operate the part that worked through the affected area. It wasnt just that the led me to walk though? The whole attitudes and behaviours towards drivers doing their best in trying and far to often, dangerous circumstances by some the residents in that area was frankly deplorable and being sat in the situation of no defence with management and customer services leaning towards them proved to be the catalyst.
End of the day and moving forward I wonder how they'll cope when services get withdrawn? We're heading that way.
