Just hope the terms are better than "0 hours plus you have to live in another part of the country where you don't know anyone or anything, for up to 3 months".

And the money is very very good dont ask the money as it will upset local drivers. Go South Coast don't ask for help with IOW festival and offer poor money so it shows they really need drivers or they are going to have to cut services. the agency frims are going to be really milking it

Dont think all drivers will move back to London for sure as they will like Wigan and Bolton. their standard rate of about i£19ph does not go far in London and they dont get TFL passes.

The agency firms are already recruiting drivers for ‘Bolton and Wigan - starting September 2023’ paying £22 an hour plus accommodation or provide your own and get an extra £180 a week so I think most drivers are well aware what some are getting paid.

https://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/ is showing the new TfGM BYD's as numbered from 2001 upwards....LG23FBN/O as 2001 & 2002. There seems to have been a lot of vehicles acquired from other Go Ahead companies ready for September however no numbers known at present apart from a couple of ex London B9TL's in the high 32**.

4020 has arrived back in Queens Road depot looking smart from Orbits livery to Bee Network.

According to bustimes.org 2002 (LG23 FBO), was working service 100 last night.

I checked on the GNW staff and enthusiasts group, it was just a tracking error, it was actually 3008 BN61MWO tracking as 2002.
