Can see Diamond 4/4H been extra busy on strike days

That is a good point.

You could say the buses are unsafe to drive, if there's no breakdown cover!

Nonsense, not a good point at all.

And it's not all engineers, so there will be cover, and many breakdowns are just fetched in by RS anyway

Would drivers for NEAT be drafted in to run services to keep the West Midlands moving

No. Drivers will not be drafted in from elsewhere.  That hasn't happened when other bus companies go on strike (eg Ariiva North West) and won't happen here.

Stagecoach generally bring other staff in to cover strikes

Fair enough.

We are learning as we go along!

@Tony will you be driving?

[Tony]

@Tony will you be driving?

No, staff have been told they haven't got to. I've got plenty of empty bus driving to do getting these electrics into service

They don't refund for their already ongoing non operation / unreliability!

Is that a serious question ? 

[Coventrybususer95]

Is that a serious question ?

Well yes when 1/2 of coventry is solely serviced by national express and no other company how else are people who cant drive ment to get to places?
