- First use in the morning including collecting float and doing walkaround of bus before leaving depot.

- Signing on for duty during the day (not first use) including collecting float etc before leaving depot.

- Arriving back to depot to sign off including cashing float back in.

Big bus 10 mins clock on / clock off without first use or last use.

Low cost (Stanley) 5 mins without first use or last use.

10 mins clock off with taking bus through wash and fuel lane. Sometimes it takes longer to get through at peak times, but swings and roundabouts, we not fortunate as having a parking marshal (like riverside)

As Jamie says drivers do not collect or pay in float.

On weekdays these two will be allocated to the Park & Ride service (along with three Scania L94s), and on weekends they will be allocated to services at Riverside in order to release two full-size single-decks for the Park & Ride contract.

(03 Dec 2018, 2:13 pm)Dan wrote The advertisement frames were left on by Brighton, and their placement of the 'T' frame differs somewhat from Go North East's standard placement (not leaving enough room for the logo).

The 06-plate Volvo B7 Geminis from London are the same, and the GNE logo was similarly fitted to the same panel on those buses.
