If Next wants to do a Boxing Day sale then that's their problem bus driver's shouldn't be expected to work to shuttle a few people to go clothes shopping. when there's plenty other days you can go. Most decent work places won't be open other than the likes of hospitals and neither are the big supermarkets this year either.

The majority of the general public would have respect for driver's as most people would realise that half the things you rant about them are the managers and suits above who should be getting the slack. If GNE and the rest of the industry actually paid a decent page and didn't have morale shot to the bottom then driver's might actually be more willing to do more on their days off such as working Bank Holiday shifts.

You say you don't care about drivers but the comments you make on here give the impression you have a massive grudge against them.

Actually, they should. Because that's literally their job description! If passengers want a boxing day service, then it should be offered. Boxing day is no different than any other bank holiday.

I don't have a grudge against bus drivers (well, not all of them at least!), I just don't like people who think they should be treated differently because of the job they do. 

Why should bus drivers be entitled to boxing day off when other 'essential' workers aren't? They were happy to be called an essential worker last year, telling everyone how important their job is. But on boxing day they're just like 'nah, you can live without us'.

I'd say the same thing to someone working in a supermarket.
