Looks like they hired the buses to others and also means they can use agency drivers with GNW buses with so long it it not a Go ahead.North West licence discs and Legals on the bus. So to get round rules of not using agency drivers as strike breakers. they can use other go ahead op disks . I can't confirm they have used any agency drivers on other Go Ahead discs or plan too do this but there no reason that cant happen if they are now using the buses over fully using other companies to cover. I do know Go Ahead London uses other 3rd party depots and other Go ahead bses as outstations for Rail Replacement with own buses with 0hr drivers.

Why are you obsessed with ops disks from other Go Ahead groups??
The outside companies are already covering the work so GNW have simply hired them their own vehicles to make things a little easier. It also means with Queens Road depot virtually empty they can crack on with the work on the roof without having to move buses out. If these companies choose to use temporary agency drivers that’s down to them not GNW.

Off topic but seen a comment from you over the weekend on a union Facebook page where you clearly use an outdated term to refer to workers who have worked despite the strike. In this day and age it’s really disappointing to see you use the term and I just wonder what your employers would make of it??
