Constantly still have services with buses missing, getting took off half way through the day because there’s not enough drivers. The depot constantly asking drivers to work rest days but it’s not mandatory and why should drivers work their days off when we don’t have to. Unless there’s a big influx of drivers I can’t ever see it coming back.
Would driver shortage be the reason why when Arriva gave up the 685, with 3 buses, Slatyford put out 2 buses and Carlisle picked up the 3rd bus allocation, Carlisle having less of a driver shortage?
