Bus strike tomorrow?? 31st October

[SHANE-D-PAIN 10]

No, as far as I know they run all the way to Sheffield, the old 23, 24 did this last Friday when Sheffield were on strike and I caught the 24 from Pond Street.

Hmmm, alright then, cheers. I'll give them a call in the morning, just to be sure.

all sheff buses stick to sheffield

 

It's not so much a case of Sheffield or Rotherham buses, so much as which garage a particular service operates from.

[HeadingNorth 11]

It's about time the PTE grew some balls and TOLD First to get something resolved or risk losing routes

 

First don't seem to operate very many of the contracted routes; the business routes they can run as and when they like, and the PTE has little authority to stop them; certainly not when the reason they are not currently running those services is because their employees are trying to blackmail them.

They can only do that with tendered routes they have no say over commercial servicces

If aroute it registered then they have to run it or face the consequences if the strike is prolonged then the commisoner can take action

206 - Rotherham to Sheffield via Dinnington and Darnall (?????)

 

 

 

206 is run by Rotherham depot so will run on OG strike days

Not against First, surely? They are not refusing to run it, it is the union that's on strike.

 

Or at least, if the commissioner takes action that costs First any of its business, they can sue the union to recover their losses.

First have undertaken to run these routes. All that the Transport Executive is concerned about is whether they do so. An internal dispute is not their concern, it is First's responsibility to manage their own business competently, not the Executive.

 

Or at least, if the commissioner takes action that costs First any of its business, they can sue the union to recover their losses.

 

Let me know when this happens, I've got a couple of old hats that could do with being eaten.

[mel steel 10]

this is crazy now wish they would get there finger out and sort it out :mad:

[slimsid2000 10]

I say sack them and replace them with non-union workers instead. They have pushed their luck too far now itis time to call thier bluff.
