There has been a mass exodus since this time last year, probably between 20-30 drivers who have either gone to other TOCs/FOCs or are due to leave in the next few months. This isn't including those due to retire. Word has it that drivers are being balloted for strike action as this year's pay offer is a load of crap.
Both RMT and Aslef have rejected the pay deal. From what I’ve heard the unions have already issued an intention to strike so don’t need to ballot for it as it was part of the original vote. They are in talks again on Thursday this week I believe and are going to try and get a strike in over the busy Christmas period. The CSAs have also voted down the pay deal afaik.
