What if someone tripped and fell over? Injured themselves? Bus depots are massive tin sheds in most cases, and are often quite dark. Who would be held responsible? What would happen?
I don't think their policy would be so daft to allow these movements between vehicles to occur inside of the depot - it would be outside of the depot on the pavement if anything.
I remember years ago that when Washington had those boxed shaped minibuses that when the relieve driver was unable to get from the depot to concord then the driver used to take the bus round to the inside of the depot so there can change drivers.
There was plenty of times when I was on the X95 and the driver used to pop into the depot, even though the service used to operate by Sunderland depot.
the old GNE depot at Herrington used to be a bad place for drivers entering the depot in service for them to change drivers, I remember on the 535/536 when there used to changed drivers at Newbottle and when the relieve driver never turns up then the driver used to take the bus all the way down to Herrington depot for them to change drivers.
