I can't imagine any depot in the country the drivers all social distancing in the canteen or infact any industry, most places I've been in the staff don't social distance with each other and can you really blame them? Whoever has been the snitch I can't imagine being too popular within the depot as no-one in their right mind if they liked their collegues would attack them for socialising on their break.

- Canteen not being deep cleaned after first positive test, particularly as the drivers that tested positive were using it.
- Drivers not being informed of who needs to self isolate.
- No enforcement of social distancing/mask wearing.
- Buses not being cleaned.
I don't see why drivers would lie about any of this, particularly as it lays some blame onto the drivers. Drivers are at fault too of course, but ultimately management clearly haven't been enforcing key policies - putting the lives of their drivers at risk.
If I was in charge of a team of drivers, who all caught a disease due to my negligence then I'd expect consequences.
