Warrington's Own Buses

[RSTurbo50]

RE: WBT Network Warrington
If anybody was to take over NW I for one would hope it would be Arriva. God help us (from a drivers point of view) if GHA were to buy us out. They have a reputation, within the depot, of not having the best standards and employing drivers that shouldn't be on the road doing the job. I dread to think what it would be like for them to get involved with us.

In terms of the bus station. I don't think its quite big enough. I don't tend to have problems getting on stand these days, it's better than what it was twelve months ago but we are told to always avoid bays 6,7 and 9 and not even to drop off on these bays which I always adhere too. Can't say Iv noticed our buses being left on these stands as the inspectors would have them moved pretty much straight away. If they are left on these bays it's just the driver being lazy and he shouldn't be doing it.

What thing that does annoy me with other companies mainly Halton and Arriva is the persistence of the drivers when reversing to reverse whilst turning into the other bays. It's ridiculous and has caused a number of accidents. I don't see why they can't just reverse back in a straight line, cross the second red marker then pull away, surely the drivers are told of this when doing the training?
