Regarding the strikes, it is absolute chaos and the saddest part is drivers will not achieve much by striking but disrupt services for other people. Interesting garage movements, especially with the 13, with many potential reasons, I think all will soon become clear I'd expect that the reshuffle will allow a garage within West London to be mothballed. Potentially V? That seems the likeliest. RP is a well located base with 5 years left on the lease.

I'm not sure if they'll mothball a garage, I wonder if the 13 is mostly a case of balancing staff work out. I'd assume with the shortages that not many are being released by Metroline on TUPE from the 295 and 226, and RATP won't release many from the 142. Bringing the 13 to BT gives the 142 drives some work, alongside any 13 drivers that would be happy moving. While the existing 13 drivers can stay at X and work on the 295 and 226. With the gap between takeovers being filled for by agency, and longer term a recruitment drive to make up the balance.

Planning entire route takeovers on provision of risky agency staff is not likely nor sensible. From what I heard most of the 226 and 295 drivers are likely to be TUPEd over with the route anyway. Metroline appears to be faring better than RATP and Abellio for staffing.

Interesting garage movements, especially with the 13, with many potential reasons, I think all will soon become clear No they won’t. I don’t know why the company lawyers don’t look at what Unite put out justifying a strike because it’s not true. Unite says RATP is very wealthy etc. But it’s not RATP in Paris who pay their wages. It’s London United a subsidiary of RATP Dev London Transit. LU didn’t make several million euros in profit. And by taking this action the profits will worsen and therefore pay offers won’t be made. Gradually the company buckles and you’ll end up working somewhere else on the same or worse pay. Nobody in the UK amongst the blue and white collar workers are going to get a pay rise that adequately pays for all our cost of living going forward. We’re all f@@££) and In would suggest if everyone striked and blamed the government not our employers, that this would be a better strategy to take

Unless it is related to 142 drivers at BT, it may just be a case of the 13 being cheaper to run from there, particularly as most garage runs are at the Finchley end. A lot of RATP routes (plus some potential gains) are either overdue for retender, or expected to be awarded next month - so I expect a lot will depend on those results.

RATP could mothball a garage such as V or AV, depending on which is more suitable for mothballing, before reopening shortly before the RP lease ends.

V must be a contender for "Bus garage in the most prime real estate location" with its "High Street" location
