Could be veg month 🤣

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.

Presumably Platinums then, for fuel economy, apart from the 28 !

No 'specialist ' vehicles out, like electrics & hydrogens!

Electric are 'specialist' and what makes you think none will be out?

Depends whether the non striking drivers are type trained I guess, but you're the expert obviously!

I think with 80 vehicles in service at Coventry garage every one is trained

Ok fair enough with Coventry, but I'd be surprised if Walsall's Hydros are out?

The 51 (their normal hunting ground) is running so as stated depends on if those who are type trained are working or nit.
Tony Hunter could maybe shed some light on this

I suspect they won't as fuelling them takes 90minutes out of a driving duty

The 29.3% of drivers who accepted this deal plus any non- union drivers would be able to run a fairly decent chunk of service coverage if they turn up for work - perhaps not unrealistic to hope now a few more routes will be able to be operated if more drivers are willing to work.

I'd also hazard a guess that most YW drivers are also trained. Plenty of other buses for those that aren't!

How much r drivers losing when they strike

In hindsight it will be a day's pay if your supposed to be rostered for duty but if it's your day off you shouldn't lose anything
