What Drivers are being Tuped and who not? as currently some may do Schools then service work then back to School. You all know it going to happen with a total lack of drivers. DNW are going to find they don't get the drivers with the routes so then take drivers from Bolton. and the chain will happen as stagecoach will do same.

Drivers will move about and go where they want. Many of the vision drivers will probably now stay on with them. The market will open and there will most likely be mass movement of drivers between depots.
I’ve said myself that depending who wins what I’ll leave where I am now and move to the depot closer to my home.

The biggest issue with school only contracts is they normally only attract certain drivers. It doesn’t appeal to most as it’s a split and the money isn’t the best.
