But I can't help but feel some current rank and file drivers will be rather annoyed seeing this go ahead when they are probably being asked every day to do overtime to cover bread and butter service work.  It's quite easily the sort of thing you could see a Northen Echo headline about.

I'd say its a good example of community engagement and welcome it, but I can see the other side of the argument and recognise that if someone is stood waiting for their bus that's been cancelled, they aren't going to be best pleased seeing a PR bus go floating past.

On overtime: isn't it optional? I'm not sure why drivers would get annoyed over it, if they can refuse to do it if they don't fancy it.
