The WN X34s have four regular drivers and a "regular" relief, plus a couple of other drivers who act as relief when necessary. You can't just move drivers to suit the service, you could ask if they wish to transfer, but they can refuse - after all, you're asking these drivers to potentially travel an extra 30-40 miles per day to work!

The 32s and WN 33s are on the general rosters, so can be driven by everyone and anyone.

In addition, the transfer of services apparently takes 8 weeks. There is still plenty of time to transfer the services over anyway, after all there will be around three months between the depot being sold and it being transferred to the new owner. In that time, there will be a rewrite on 28 October, plus potentially between then and the end of the year. A rewrite could also be timed to coincide with the transfer.

Wigans rewrite has been cancelled!

what you mean wigans rewrite has been cancelled? bus not move to manchester, bury, ashton? or something?

Thank you,
