They could only do that if all locations had the very same depot layouts for walk times, break locations, relief points and first use checks times etc.
If you harmonise pay, then the eventual end argument is should a driver in Newcastle be paid the same as a driver in London. It is essentially the same job after all...

You've compared GNE to GNW and now GNE to SNE.
Is there something the GNW and SNE drivers are doing that GNE drivers aren't?
If I work in Tesco from 8 to 4 and I get 45 minutes paid break, but my mate in ALDI does the same shift , gets the same break length unpaid, which company has the more productive staff?
