There's also the question around whether a greater spare % in driving resource is going to be required, if GNE end up taking on a proportion of this commercial work that they've chucked towards the local authorities? There's an actual cost to the business for not running secured work, whereas in the absence of a 'delay repay' type model, they can get away with a meaningless apology at most for their commercial stuff.
November/December will be a nightmare with all the England matches in the World Cup!
To counter existing natural turnover and shortfall, the numbers being processed through the driving school needs to be huge.
Then take in to account any additional turnover as a result of the Chester closure and they're on an even stickier wicket!
It will be interesting to see how they manage the staff resource given the greater reliance on the those routes you mention and penalties that should be in place.
