Basically to sum up this marathon post;
There are multiple rota's within a business unit......4 and 5 day paid meal breaks, 4 and 5 day unpaid meal breaks, then there could be a late rota, part time rota, and even a rota whereby the drivers have requested a 'special' line due to personal issues.
By the way the Cobalts and Coaster are on separate units at PM, and the TEN's are separate to the Tynedale Xpress, but of course that does not stop drivers covering work from different business units if required.
