The race to the bottom in wages has finally come back to bite them on the arse and existing staff are leaving for pastures new, just like at Arriva who are having to pay agency drivers £16 an hour to try and plug the gaps......

It’s entirely to do with sickness absence - Go North East aren’t actually that short of drivers on paper, but high sickness levels are resulting in the current disruption.

The reasons for that sickness is what you could argue may be driven by some staff needlessly being off sick, but that’s by no means everyone.
