If the blurb on the Arriva NW website is to be believed, there isn't much of a gap between what is being offered in terms of a % increase. I suspect though, that said website may be omitting to mention any accompanying whistles, bells & strings attached!

I'm surprised both parties have let it get to this stage, as it's becoming something of a public spat, which does neither the company, or the public any favours.

I'm all in favour of drivers getting a reasonable pay increase, but if this goes on for much longer, the drivers will end up losing more through strike action than they will ever get back through a revised pay offer.

Oh and the poor people trying to do there Christmas shopping will instead of getting on public transport will end up getting in there cars and gridlocking shopping centres . I do hope they get what there after people before the general public lose patience .
