Not sure how it works for other independents, but I'm guessing based on the type of work you do and your amount of service, the pay could be varied.
(07 Jul 2015, 8:14 pm)S813 FVK wrote Working at stupid o'clock puts me right off being a bus driver for a major company. At least with an independent, you can get assigned to a specific area (service, scholars, private hires etc). Thats how it works at Stanley Travel anyway. Much more appealing.

(07 Jul 2015, 8:48 pm)aureolin wrote Independents are less likely to be covered by collective bargaining arrangements, so it'd not be uncommon to find the pay lower and the lack of pay progression.
I think Arriva, Stagecoach and GNE all have pay progression in place in the form of pay scales, and that they have an annually negotiated pay settlement for driving staff...

Are you a regular user of Services 9, 27 or 27A in Middlesbrough?
Please complete our UPDATED consultation survey here
Arriva North East - Service 9 / 27 / 27A Survey
Further to our initial survey earlier this year, we asked our customers in Middlesbrough on their thoughts of a potential revision to Services 9, 27 and 27A in East Middlesbrough, that would simplify the service offering and create two new, frequent services instead. The results of that survey suggested the following;
62% of respondants suggested that the revisions would be either positive or have no effect to their current travel plans.
Some comments suggested to us that diverting Service 5/5A via Cranmore Road would not be the best option for that service.

(07 Jul 2015, 8:29 pm)S813 FVK wrote Pay definitely increases if you work for a main company. At an independent, you will probably only get paid for exactly what you do. For example, if somebody is assigned to scholars services, they will get paid just for that. However, if they are offered and say yes to doing a private hire, they will get paid for that too. Nothing more, nothing less.

The 8:10am - X21 from Park lane becomes 8:15am
Then **:15 mins past the hour until 1615 then 1725 and 1825
Saturday - Stays the same
--------------------------
Mon to Fri from Peterlee:
X21: 7:32am remains
X21: 8:02am is cancelled
The X21 will run 2 mins later than now so 8:37am becomes 8:39am and 9:37am becomes 9:39am
The the X21 will at run at 44 mins past the hour 15:44 instead of 42 mins past the hour
The 1644 from Peterlee is X22 via Seaham Interchange
Then it looks like the X22 will run at 1649 and 1749
Sat from Peterlee:
Runs at 44 mins past instead of 42 mins past

Also half the times it says the X21 currently leaves at are wrong and one journey doesn't exist at present.
So is the X22 just going to be a peak time only service then?
