No doubt he’ll be back driving bus by next Monday now he’s created a driver shortage. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/director-of-transport-to-retire-550753 Given that he's left the buses and horsetrams in the same state as Reynolds and Spake left the airport I hope that the taxpayers will be receiving an apology for his failures. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Time use the "he believes" get out of jail free card. He said all services ran. Not on time, or that buses weren’t merged. Bit chaotic today. Longwith’s revenge.

So is the phrase "allegedly driven" significant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The terminally cynical (like moi) might also suggest that his departing might be a) "conveniently" before the PAC starts rummaging in the Promenade doings; and b) maybe before it transpires that the horse tram tracks have to come up again because the trams can't navigate the corners now....? Because if he's gone, he's no longer accountable for anything. Pension and out the door whilst the taxpayers suck on yet another bitter pill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
