Drivers on the runs behind getting grief and 'not being paid enough to put up with the sh!t'.
Punters just giving up completely, the services become less viable and maybe cancelled all together.
Utter shambles.
I don't think NF cares to be honest, and I don't think Ben and his other cronies are capable of their own thought process.
They'll go down the same path as they always go down. It'll hit them financially, and they'll go with the ultimate short-term approach and cut services, because anything else would require a bit of thought and ingenuity.
I don't work in a big office now, but even my workplace chat group, colleagues are regularly noting that they won't be in this week due to the buses being so bad, and before that, it was the Metro. I've tried it twice this year so far and it's been appalling, and so much so that I don't fancy going in for the foreseeable.
They seem to forget that they don't have non-drivers over a barrel as much as they did previous, where they could hike fares and provide a shoddy service, yet they'd keep coming back. Too many now have the option to do something different.

He might as well set up camp outside Hownsgill or Riverside these days, but at least someone is keeping some pressure on what GNE are trying to sweep under the carpet.
