553 changes over at Regent Centre, with drivers told to use arriva service bus to get there, although many drivers use Metro instead. Saturday changeovers were done at Benfield Road, again drivers had to use a service bus to get there. When they had service 6, changeovers were done at Pilgrim Street, with drivers carrying their bags down Northumberland Street.
If a driver starts at Depot, they were paid to get back there, usually taking a bus back, but some duties had extra time paid to get a service bus/Metro back. If a driver started at Haymarket, and they finished service with a bus, they would leave it at Haymarket/Eldon Square
