Compared to Deptford, all the drivers meet outisde of greggs, and in Consett with all the drivers meeting in a room near the bus station.
I don't believe Covid is the main problem though. Unless there's a new variant that only affects GNE staff and happens to affect them for next to 3 month now non stop.
Stagecoach and Arriva aren't having the same problems and nor are supermarkets to bring a different industry in.
One thing I could imagine though is the smaller depots will have a more of a community feel where everyone gets along better between management and drivers so they just plod along and never leave. I believe it's already been said that's the case for Percy Main on here.
