The break rooms at the Haymarket and to a lesser extent Blyth are far too small for the volume of drivers in them at any one time. Should we take our breaks sitting in our cars in the depot car parks? I've got a mate who's a postman and he says the measues in his place of work are laughable as they're out of sight of the public and have no room to space out properly.

And as for "shows a lack of care for the passengers", lol, half of them are travelling totally unecessary journeys in the first place.

Then the company should be putting further measures in place to ensure all members of staff are working within a safe working environment which from what you have just posted is not the case, again as noted in my previous post Go North East have placed their Driver Training Fleet at various Bus Station to provide extra space to ensure staff are kept within a safe environment whilst on a meal break.

As for having breaks sat in your car in the car park, why not if it ensures your and your families safety along with that of your work colleagues.

I work in a Call Centre which when fully staffed pre-covid had 800 people working within the office, now we are probably at 50% of that due to those working from home and our Canteen isn't the biggest either however we have managed to make that area socially distanced with all tables which would normally seat 6 seating 2 and are all 2 metres apart, on the call floor everyone is sat 2 metres apart to ensure it is covid secure and with those measures in place along with regular cleaning of the office throughout the day we have had 0 cases of covid-19 in the 10 months we have been in this awful pandemic, seems to me the company you work for are not doing enough to protect it's staff.
