I hope GNE did well and retained most of the work!
If GNE have a shortage of drivers, then if say in the Stanley area to 30 and 31 go to Stanley buses and similarly with the V3 and V5 in Consett, does that not release drivers for the likes of X30, X31 and X45 where cancellations have been rife?
If some of the drivers need to be trained up for the big buses, then so be it.
