 I can assure you it’s rarely that people are unable to drive a bus (although there are some knackers out there), it’s that they are unsupported and set up to fail by the company.  Clearly you’re not a union supporter, but if there wasn’t one in the company they would be given carte Blanche to do even less than they already do.

Summed it up to a T. Again......only got the power hungry d******d managers to blame who love their power trips!

Sort that out and the whole driver shortage issue will become non existent!
