Having watched the recent BBC programme “Are we there yet” on the sad state of buses in the UK , (especially Manchester) I think that UK North Buses should be taken off the road for good ! Most of the drivers ,it seemed, were Polish and couldn’t speak English !!!!!!

My son started driving Uk North buses just before Xmas and just as he was about to receive his first pay they were closed down. Noone has bothered to contact him.Who are the administrators?This is a nasty business. This is not the way to treat hardworking employees

Some of the drivers are British and hardworking. They have lost two weeks pay just before Xmas. None have been notified as to who is the administrators. How would you like to be treated this way?

Commissioner Beverly Bell.

â€œShe concluded that she couldnâ€™t be sure that their drivers had been properly trained.â€

I have never had a problem when using UK North buses.

Why is it the fault of UK North, all drivers whether British or otherwise have to be trained to obtain a licence to drive passengers about. All at UK North have now lost their livelihoods.

Something doesnâ€™t smell quite right.

Perhaps B Bell has come back as a reincarnation of Robert Maxwell.
