It hasn't been stated on here at all, however been a driver myself and how drivers get talking, reliable sources have said its been condemned, staff can't access the depot at all, had to extend the fuel line into the yard, anyway that's probably best for another thread

I was also in Wakefield earlier on WCB and it looked there was restricted access tape across the large folding depot doors. |

Also can confirm that a driver has told me about Restricted Access Tape but I unfortunately couldn't remember why... but now makes sense thanks! |

As well as the many passengers who don't bother to take the ticket It would help if there was consistency across bus companies about whether they would issue a ticket for a single fare – some do and some don't, and some drivers will act snotty if they aren't issuing tickets and you look like you're waiting for one. |

That's because they're probably on the fiddle. Was on a Stotts bus a few weeks ago and the driver was giving out tickets that previous customers had left in the machine. |

Cant imagine, the drivers at the big companies would be able to get away with any fiddling, sure there will be strict checks, and don't they cash in at end of the shift, so if there any issues management will know.

If they don't issue tickets then they will have surplus cash which they could keep. I've seen it all before in the 90s and 00s. |

They could just take the ticket roll out so it still shows up on final waybill but just don't issue a ticket, to say someone probably fiddling is quite an accusation, plus some small companies don't employ cleaners so drivers have to sweep their buses at end of their shift, no tickets mean no tickets thrown on the floor
