Heck some days you won't be able to get an ambulance as that strike is in the middle of it aswell - crazy how much a mess this country is in lately.


It'll be much worse than that, engineering staff include shunters, the people who refuel buses etc as someone else said give it a few days and the whole thing will ground to a halt. It's much worse than not having Driver's. Manager's can't maintain buses, they can drive them though and since it's fleet wide there's no avoiding it.

Also not sure how it works but I'm assuming someone has to sign buses off who actually understand the mechanics in a morning. Can't imagine they can just let buses just go out without any form of check without someone experienced and if you have an extremely limited staff doing it then that's going to seriously slow things going out.

Yeah you're right. What happens if two buses won't start when they're all lined up either end are they going to push them.

I forgot that they refueled them. If GNE have no one to refuel them god knows. i can't imagine managers doing it for no extra pay.

But what percentage of engineers are actually striking, surely there will still be maybe 1 or 2 to do the bare minimum in refueling buses
