So National Express are making me and my colleagues Redundant once they shut down out depot, probably around early to mid December, but still haven't given us a date yet.
The entire operational staff and managers are looking for work as controllers or managers in Kent or London.

You're job title says clarkes so I'm guessing you were never there when it actually was clarkes and not nasty express dressed in Teal. The commuters actually stayed it was the 10 year plus London drivers that left.

yeah, but probably not a job that makes the firm that hung them out to dry any money 😂 I’d imagine McDonalds would be higher on their list than that 😂

Always stay away from large coach companies you are just a number to them but it will be their downfall in the end. Go for small local firms who will look after you and who know that without drivers they don't exist!
