Question to Ceo GoAhead Group.......does your company have any bus operations in Belfast-Ireland, Stockholm-Sweden, Munich-Germany or Warsaw-Poland......the answer is no......Sadly your company spends most of its fleet renewal money on vehicles from foriegn manufacturers in these locations......UK manufacturer Alexander Dennis yesturday announced they were making a third of their workforce redundant.......the very people who use GoAheads services day in day out.......I remember a day not so long ago when my local GoAhead, North Tyneside, Norham road bus depo was crammed full of British AlexanderDennis/Plaxton and Roe/Optare vehicles.....not now its a Mercedes/Volvo/Scania dealership.......Its all very sad a successful North East based British company cant support workers in Scotland, Blackburn and Leeds......very very sad indeed
