Anyone know how Stagecoach pay per hour compares with Arriva and GNE? Last time I heard GNE was between £8 & £9 per hour depending on depot but may have gone up since then. I hear Weardale hourly service bus rate is going up from £7 (for last 5+ years) to £7.25 per hour (and nowt extra for overtime).
100 was running in three's just now coming out of the Metrocentre

They don't list it on their website, but someone mentioned on the QCS thread that Stagecoach pay their drivers more than Go North East. If that's true about Weardale then it's a disgrace really. It's not even a living wage.

I believe Stagecoach's Tyne and Wear depots are above the £10 per hour threshold, compared to their colleagues at Stockton (£9.20-ish an hour).

Stagecoach Teesside when I left were on £9.21/hr main rate, less for part time and probationary.
Busways will be on a fair bit more I believe around £11.

I'd always think bus drivers would (or should be on more money). Especially when Metro drivers are on about 40k, and that's arguably with less responsibility than bus drivers. One thing I find quite interesting though is that GMB are saying constant attacks to terms and conditions, whilst Stagecoach are saying the complete opposite.
Last few days in Teesside have been rather interesting, seeing the Enviro 300's on the 38, i don't whether that's a indication for something or just that they have gotten so unreliable they can't run on the 36!!!

As mentioned on here before, due to the on-going roadworks on Newport Road (installing a bus lane), to help reliability, the 36 and 38 are interworking at Park End during the day (after the 0853 36 on weekday until 1430, and from 1130 on Saturdays until 1537). Meaning the E300s are working both 36s and 38s, though at present the allocators are struggling on a morning to remember to allocate the E300s to 38 duties that finish the day as 36s instead of 38s

I don't think it really matters whether they end up on stuff that finishes the day as a 36 or starts the day on there to be honest.......

Welcome to the forum, its always nice to have more from our area!
They were swapped for MAN ALX 300's it was at the time done due to vandalising the seats and windows on the top deck, they are still in operation in Magic Bus livery , think the Man's were the T-MVM ones but could be wrong
