Strike Action

[Gareth]

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?

Like everyone else, you either don't go to places, or you have to find and pay for alternate arrangements.

With drivers strikeing will nx refund taxis trains other forms of transport that people may be required to use during the strikes to get to work, health care, education in place's only nx buses operate?

Why should they? It is not NX's fault that bus services won't be operating, its the unions and their members.

I already know what TfWM will come out with, they'll be 'encouraging' people to "walk or cycle instead".

@Tony this question has probably already been asked so I pre-apologise if it has but does this strike effect NEAT and Coach divisions or is it JUST West Midlands division of the company

It's just NXC and NXWM, i.e West Midlands Travel Ltd

That's kind of the point. Workers aren't happy with their conditions, they withdraw their labour

Wonder what a "limited network" would look like. It could also mean there will be no late night and early morning journeys, operating 7AM - 7PM only maybe?

Think back to what it was like during the first Covid lockdown.

Only this time there will be more passengers travelling!

.... and many of the passengers are still coughing and sneezing. Sharing their germs as the bus windows are closed as it's very cold!!!!!!!

Only trunk routes will run in my opinion eg 79, 74, 529 but to a reduced frequency.  I suppose it depends upon how many drivers are available at each garage.
