From what I saw at my garage we were allowed to vote and were balloted in the manner the union were pushing for. I'm hopeful that a happy ground can be found for us drivers but also for the travelling public because I don't think it's fair for thousands of peoples lives to be almost brought to a halt because they rely on the use of busses to carry out what they need to do day to day

Nice comment hopefully drivers see common ground and what effect it has on passengers using services.

Do we know roughly when we get the results of the ballot and when the union will make a statement?

That article was from previous voting. Think we are supposed to find out this afternoon sometime.

Given that the union aren't recommending the deal, I'll be surprised if the drivers vote for it.

Hopefully it will only be double deckers out on the limited network on Monday and no omnilinks so they can run to maximum capacity.
Even if that means putting the 28 on diversion via stockland green as there's a low bridge on Summer Road.
