Overheard a conversation today about the Sunderland Connect routes, amongst discussed was that the "terrifying & bone-chilling" James Fairchild has fled to Ukraine on what he is in his own words is alleged to have said is a 'Humanitarian Mission' involving delivering an MCV bus to Ukraine.

Only down side to that is the drivers in the UK on the Connect contract have been left uninformed having apparently not recieved their last wages for their work & concern growing that the company could cease trading.
