The service costs more to run than it makes, with it gone the company can focus more on the jobs they specialise in. School services, private hire and rail replacements. All of which are helping the business grow. Drivers have recently had a 10% pay increase Monday to Friday and a 70% increase at weekends. The company is in no way struggling and is making profit where most are losing money at the moment.

Despite what little jumped up know it all wanna be engineers think. And her comments on Facebook once again have got her reported.
