Both X15 and X18 are going to be run under domestic rules, and split at Morpeth, Alnwick and Bamburgh. however they plan on running these under current route numbers all the way through. Drivers are NOT happy about this, especially when we should be getting extra work for summer, we are losing 3 lines of Rota. Many drivers believe this is going to be illegal as the route number is staying the same, and the same bus is running full route.Believe there was a successful challenge regarding this, and as a result, number doesn't need to change?
maybe someone can shed light on this as our union reps are non existent at the minute.
Doesn't make it morally correct. It's an 'operational efficiency' at the detriment of the workers. If your union reps aren't available, and there's enough bad feeling about it, then I'd suggest contacting your union's regional office asap.
