Sorry to be so tough, and blunt, but are these Bradford drivers thick? Do they really expect First to cough up for them to drive even more fresh air around? Passenger numbers clearly can't match pre-covid levels due to restricted space for a start lol. Not to mention that things were bad enough pre covid due to cheap parking, just look at how many routes had frequency cuts last year. If I were them, I'd shut it and be greatful they have a job, and if I were First, I'd remind these fools just what happened to Manchester and Rotherham.

Confused. May has misinterpreted this but...
They want to restore timetables to pre pandemic levels - are Bradford still operating reduced timetables?
But then go onto say drivers are stressed with having to cover for colleague absence - wont they be even more stressed when staffing levels will be the same & frequencies have increased?

Yes that press release makes no sense. They are complaining about too much work and demanding more work.
There is a marginal trimming of frequencies on the high frequency routes but as we are in a lockdown with non essential shops closed and people told to work from home if you can, I’m sure it is sufficient.

According to BBC Radio Leeds today, Bradford drivers are to go on strike in January.
