Surely there has to be a point where you can't keep mindlessly defending GNE, even known you work for them. Lack of desire (refusal) to work overtime is a management problem, shutting a depot is a management decision which has been clearly been mishandled, not route training driver's before moving depots is a management issue, high levels of sickness / lack of drivers is management issue since loads of driver's have left.
I feel sorry for people who actually have to rely on GNE to actually commute as it's completely useless for the best part of year now with permanent service reductions as a sucker punch more than once some rather drastic, it's been going on for too long.
