RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
So what your trying to say is that the 418/419 would probably be very close to break even if they paid the drivers the going rate , but probably gives a good profit because the drivers are on lower rates.

Can see the logic for the 175 as it being a Merseytravel contract and costs should be kept to an absolute minimum. To say i was surprised when Arriva won that work (175) was an understatement , that sort of work had always been for independents previously.
