Bus drivers should be in unison over wages not bailing each others bosses out. I'm sure Stagecoach drivers would be very happy to help GNE out if the foot turned the opposite way so what's the point in ever striking as it goes nowhere. Bus drivers don't pledge an alliance to GoAhead so whether they make a loss or a £100m profit is irrelevant all they care about is the wage they pick up at the end of the day.
Never cross a picket line and that includes other companies aswell.
Not to mention Deptford don't have enough drivers to run their normal service nevermind other services.
Think I remember hearing a number of issues occurring when Go North West hired in a load of other operators to cover work when their drivers were striking last year, most likely only made any tensions between the drivers & company worse.
