But on the flip side we don't actually know the state the company is in. Nothing on Companies House since early last year, and a depot closure at Chester tells the story I think.And that's why I've directed a lot of my ire towards them. Even though the buck stops with MG.
The objectives of the commercial team, is to clearly drive commercial revenue growth whilst under whatever pressure to cut costs.
MG stated in his depot letter that they need to adapt to new market conditions. I don't see any adaptations. I see cuts to services and there's a clear difference between the two.
It's patently obvious that costs can be cut, without leaving entire communities such as Pelton Fell removed from a bus network, whilst increasing the number of services an hour up and down Pelaw Bank.
Regardless of whether they're wagging the tail or not and whatever pressure there is to cut costs, that commercial revenue growth and network adaptations have clearly not happened.
I agree about the state of the division. I think MG mentioned that there's financial pressures. However, I noticed covid got the blame again.
