Anyone on here worked for Percy Main? I’m a driver at Stagecoach have been for 10 years but due to the route I am currently doing being lost to another operator and I’m not a fan of the other routes at the depot I’m thinking of a change. Riverside is closer to me but I don’t fancy working out or Gateshead interchange. The routes at Percy Main interest me more and I’m wondering if it’s worth it? 

Where do drivers get their breaks? 
Are they paid weekly like Stagecoach? 
Is it one big rota and you do all routes or is it like Stagecoach where each route has their own rota? 

Anyone able to respond would be much appreciated.

The cooling off period doesn't end until the end of this week. Are Stagecoach definitely losing the 18, 32/32A and 787?

It’s registered on bus times as services withdrawn now so I’d imagine they have been lost sadly. Walkergate going to have about 20 too many drivers and Slatyford are going to have some but not as much. There’s talk of voluntary redundancies. They will probably have to loan drivers out to other depots like Sunderland, South Shields, Hartlepool and Stockton

Stockton are going to be overstaffed too.

Stagecoach don’t do voluntary redundancies, they didn’t when they lost the megabus and 317, they just find drivers to walk the plank.

How are Stockton going to be overstaffed? 

Have to wait and see what they do then
