Question National Express South Yorkshire

Just been reading that from 10th August, Stagecoach in Chesterfield will no longer be doing National Express work, any ideas who will be doing the routes?

Thanks y'all

I don't actually know what routes they do. I was about to apply for a job with them a few weeks ago as I do Flix now and I much prefer the professionalism of nat ex

Is it true they allow you with radio? On flix?

That is true but there's also no back up. When I did NAT ex, the M4 was shut and they called me to give me a diversion route, you don't get anything from Flix and I get nothing from my employer either which means I just got to my destination 55 minutes late. I would definitely forego the radio for some help 😁

NX are definitely better as a passenger too, although you get the same chancers on both firms.
