We at Thornaby were told that 26 out of the 48 drivers jobs were at risk, and lots of other depots were in the same predicament. We were also told that Healey Mills and Aberdeen were going to close as regards drivers depots, but I don't know about yards as such.
It wouldn't surprise me if Healey Mills yard was actually closed though. There isn't even any permanent groundstaff there now as they are all mobile.
