(17 Apr 2014, 8:02 pm)RGR756V wrote When Arriva won the Durham P&R contract in 2009 most of the drivers transferred from Scarlet Band and were protected by TUPE regulations. I think this was a stipulation of the contract and presumably it will still stand.
Durham P&R operate using dedicated driving staff. If another operator won the contract to operate it, then TUPE would definitely apply. That's if Arriva couldn't (or didn't want to) reassign those staff.
