Pros
None, bar the new vehicles but they’re Alexander Dennis so are already falling to bits.
Cons
Lots. Directors haven’t a clue what they’re doing - stating they have no money for some things so cutting corners but then go and buy other larger more long standing bus companies. One of the directors poses around in his Maserati and asks staff to clean it for him which speaks volumes. They rely on lucrative rail replacement work which will be operated without the use of a tacho card because everything is masqueraded as ‘emergency rail rep’ so the owners seem to think that allows them to not adhere to driving hours. Luckily however one of the directors got a telling off by the traffic commissioners for this and was forced to hire in an external company to monitor driving hours so hopefully that will improve. The TC also raised issues with maintenance too, make of that’s what you will. You’ll robably be paid late as is customary and if the payday falls on a Saturday and it’s a bank holiday weekend then you’ll be paid the following Tuesday because they refuse to practise the industry norm of being paid early. It’s likely you’ll be asked to swap onto different work when arriving for your shift, or you’ll be made spare as there isn’t a vehicle for you. There’s never enough vehicles for the work they take on so runs are always stood.
