If you're set on a board which is meant to be a minibus but instead it's ran by a full size bus, do you get the minibus wage as it's what it's rota'd for or do you get the full wage for that shift?

If so it's not exactly in the driver's best interest for the Solo's, which they don't like to drive anyway, to actually be on the road. I'm not suggesting they do it, but to break a bus and get a reward seems rather counter productive.

So when I was at Arriva I did my training at Ashington even though I was working out of Durham. I was told at that time the minibus rotas were paid on the size of the vehicle e.g. an MPD on the 2 in Blyth (correct allocation at the time) was minibus rate but if you had a decker you got 'big bus rate.' Unsure if this is still the case as going back about 6/7 years now. I think this only applied to the Northumbria division too as Durham didn't have that rule.
