The lack of plan to fix things from management, given the length of time they have been short of drivers, shows the sheer scale of the incompetence. If the new owners have any sense, every single person involved in the overall "management" of the company should be at the Job Centre within 5 minutes of them taking over.

You should come live down from a route from the Blyth depot, it's been going on for the best part of 2 year now, ever since the Jesmond ballsup and them gaining work, they never had the drivers to actually do the work.

There's a reason why I'm so pro train and it's not just that it's a train, it's also the incompetence of Arriva.

The allocations are shocking here aswell, there appears to be two boards missing on the X7/X8/X9 today. How should we do it? I have a good idea, let's do two boards straight after each other
