Edit: Just read the article, so they are advocating upping the new starter rate to £10/hr. Still too low, but a start I suppose, but they've only done it because they'll get no new faces through the door otherwise.
I understand that Arriva (Northumbria) Minibuses start at £9.30 too, so not much difference between them.
