Hogwash. That might be the public reasoning (retail are also dining out on it - have heard a few adverts now saying that shops are giving their staff an extra day off this Boxing Day to spend with loved ones to thank them for their hard work this year) but in reality for the bus industry it’s down to coverage issues and we’re all smart enough on this forum to know that. In retail it’s more likely to be down to the limited trade on a Sunday.
Arriva are in by far the worst situation out of the big three for coverage and it is understandable that they would not want to risk plucking up volunteers to work Boxing Day.
