I've only had to work two Boxing days and one Christmas Day in the past 15 years personally, but that's because there's no demand from our clients under normal circumstances, so I have to admit I don't understand the needing to have that specific day off. If I could have my bank holidays rolled up in to leave, I'd probably opt for that instead, and have flexibility of when I take the time off.

Arriva only started running boxing day services a few years ago and there are usually enough volunteers to cover the duties due to the double time pay on offer. Just a matter of time before they class it as a standard BH (£25 one off payment that's your lot, be grateful for that you entry level scum).

I’d hope they aren’t planning to run Sunday services on the Monday and Tuesday substitute Bank Hols. 

The lack of provision in public transport on NYD in this region is staggering to me. Boxing Day will no doubt happen, sure us tax payers will continue to keep the industry afloat.

Yes I'm sorry about that, especially since bus drivers don't pay tax..........
