Engineers need to sign defect cards on a morning when defects are identified,

Attending breakdowns and fixing faults,

Fuelling and shunting in the depot as well as operation of the wash,

PSV/MOT tests.

I wonder if a service reduction will be in operation during the strike days? I'm sure someone told me there needs to be a minimum amount of engineers for buses to go out in service however this may not be true but looking at the above list, things could go wrong quickly for GNE.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Arriva Yorkshire and Stagecoach Yorkshire are the only two places that I know engineers have joined on strike action and both shut down completely but driver's were striking aswell so isn't really a fair comparison.

I'll be surprised if much runs though as if there's limited staff doing all that unless they work extended hours then nothing will be ready to run.
