I'm guessing the drivers have been told they're going to have to transfer to either Blyth or Ashington or p*** off. How on earth are Arriva supposed to come up with an alternative in that length of time?

I imagine that negotiations, balloting stage, the counts, then the announcement and the 2 weeks notice needed by law has taken up a lot of precious time.

Arriva won't be the only company they're dealing with at the moment. With the government throwing loads of shit in the direction of worker's rights I'd expect that all unions will be making very sure that everything is all good and legal.
