There's already a bus for the students that goes from the bus station. It's called 'LSV Go.' The 597, up until Monday, was run by Jim Stones and just went onto the Marshall Street estate. So it's not a new service, just a change of route and provider.

I know where your coming from. But if you knew what has gone on you'd understand why we are doing i. On the monthly thing, she will get 4 extra days on the ticket after its run out to include the strike days, same with weeklys they get an extra day.

As a former driver myself for North Western ( Arriva ) I agree with the terms that they are asking for , but the pittance of the pay increase will take years to rake back the money lost through the strike .

Its about time that these companies stop treating drivers as grease monkeys and give them proper pay and conditions

It would surprise the public if they knew the crap they have to put up with

So it's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard to any fans wanting a bus on a match day from the bus station who are either elderly or have a disabilty and useless for students who's lectures start at 9am
