Hey alright I'm thinking about applying for percy main depot just wondering does anyone know what the rotas are like there and what routes I would drive on each rota. Also when I first start what rota would I be on first.    

Thanks.
3 Main rotas, Blue, Minibus and Main. 

New starter would begin on blue rota which at Percy Main is quite boring since all the nexus work was lost so it is basically only the 19 and occasionally the 434.

Minibus would include the 11, 41/a, 42/a and sunday and evenings 18

Main rota is 309,310,311 and 1

There are also various other side rotas for scholars, split shifts, 4 day, dfds etc

Expect to be on Blue for quite a while though, probably at least a few years before you go to minibus and then the same to the main rota. But if you know the other routes you could potentially pick up OT on them if available.

Dm me if you want to know anything else

You start on the blue rota at Deptford. Routes are:
135/136, 38/A/C, 33, X20, X6, 62.

There is also a 4 line blue split rota which has the 4274 o  2 of the lines and the other 2 are just general blue rota routes.

Everything else is on the main big bus rotas (4 day or 5 day, paid or unpaid breaks and big bus splits).
