She is repeating what the union has said. So, either they are both being untruthful or she is just parroting. 

To be honest, as a sufferer of the service, that is the only thing she got wrong.

Using vehicles from elsewhere is not a problem - and if franchising comes in, she will find herself with the same problem, at least to begin with. So she needs to be careful! 

The issue for GNE is they've brought in the dross and virtually no work has been done on them. Some of the ghetto deckers still have dual doors and the anti drug blue lighting from London and that's at the door of the senior management. If that's the image the want to give out, that's on them.
