I can understand why they'd want to move away from Arriva but considering they've been working in the same yard as Stagecoach for over a year and they're, as far as I'm aware, paid more. Not sure why anyone wouldn't take that option.
It depends where they live, too, of course.
Stagecoach will be the worst paid of the big three as soon as GNE’s pay deal is settled. Even GNE’s first offer (which drivers are balloting to strike over) sees them overtake Stagecoach. Whatever is agreed will be backdated to 1 July (or whenever the employee started at GNE, if after that date).
Conditions at Stagecoach (in terms of driving portions etc) are far worse than GNE.
Plenty of reasons why folk would go to GNE over Stagecoach. Of course, I am sure there are reasons why some drivers would prefer to work at Stagecoach too!
