They have said that this recruitment drive is to get 300 drivers on board.
That is a canny percentage of staff to be added to the work force - or to be taken on, to replace those on the verge of retirement, not forgetting the shadow of QCS looming in the background.
The thought just came to me earlier on and wondered if there had been an official line given.
Maybe expansion in that case. Unless I've gotten myself confused again, with QCS - they can pick up extra work in other areas if they're given it or something? So Chester-le-Street might become ruled by Stagecoach, etc.?
They may be recruiting extra employees in the case of this. Didn't realise that was what you were hinting at in your first post.
