The seats look nothing like that on Phoenixs Solos.

Same shape, might have been the older design of the seat, different colours, I wasn't paying much attention, as the driver was playing loud music.

Interesting that they've still got the Cadet(s) - had assumed they would have binned them by now!

Hopefully the drivers can find alternative employment - sooner, rather than lzter

Have I missed something? Is the company losing secured work?

They lost the 73 and 515/558 last year (GCT was awarded with the contract), and are to lose the 79/79A next Sunday (GNE taking over commercially by extending current 238).

Well, at least 4 of their fleet still operating in and out of Morrisons Seaburn an hour or so ago!

Guess you're talking about the little minibuses, though?
They still have all of that community work, plus the Royal Hospital Park & Ride services. I know they used to do a weekly run from Plains Farm Primary School to Sandhill View to transport scholars to the swimming pool at Sandhill - this used to use one of the minibuses which ran onto the 37 / 8X later that day. Unsure if it still happens - was a good six or seven years ago when I last had the pleasure!

What a shame for there drivers.
RE: Compass Community Transport - Adrian - 23 May 2015
When the 73 and 515/558 was awarded to another operator, TUPE should have applied for Compass drivers to transfer over. I highly doubt this would apply to the 79/79A, as it's not a transfer of work so to speak.
I'm not sure how many drivers would have been left to operate the 79/79A in any case?

Does TUPE always apply though. The amount of contracts that change hands all the time with the likes of nexus I would be suprised the bus companies knew who worked for then. The last TUPE i heard of was 2010 with the quaylink but think TUPE applied due to the council involvement on contracts

It does not always happen. If Stagecoach win a contract from us lets say the evening 56's, Stagecoach would cover that with their own staff and no one from GNE would go to Stagecoach.
