Clearly there has been a failure though. A further 3 trips have been cancelled since the earlier post, so I'm assuming that's at least another driver off. I appreciate that drivers get ill, and that they have to take responsibility, but I don't see how some of the things mentioned in that article are anything but management's fault? At the moment they should be ensuring that drivers are always in a safe environment - yet they haven't bothered enforcing cleaning the two areas where they spend 99% of their shift (the bus and break room)? 

Then the point you make about them all being adults. By that logic leadership teams are completely redundant then? They are there to set examples and make the workplace safe. By not informing drivers that they need to self isolate, they've also destroyed any trust between the drivers and the management team - if you had been exposed to someone who'd tested positive for a potentially fatal disease then I'm sure you'd want to know.

Yep - a further three trips have been cancelled tonight since my earlier post (including a last trip of the day).

Seems that they're going for the approach of "let's get the money in the morning, sod anyone wanting to get home".

The last one to be cancelled is now running albeit 10 minutes late with a driver that helped Darlington put last night, that driver has currently done a X75 to Barney and back, a 2A to Amazon then light from Amazon to Bishop to do the last service 5

I mean I kind of feel sorry for certain people that are trying to sort out everything that’s going wrong all for it to be chucked back in there faces, now needing management authorisation so they can cover the work
