Debatable mind, Arriva mishandled Jesmond and GNE mishandled CLS but Stagecoach currently have an ongoing strike with no end date in sight and also had a long strike in Teesside which was also mishandled. Plus Arriva made investment in their fleet which gives them some kudo points.

They're all as bad as each other but Stagecoach is the only company which actually got to a strike (twice) which is pretty damning.
