I was speaking with a Hexham driver recently, he recommended Hexham depot as a good starter depot for new drivers, due to its size and routes that it covers.
He said all drivers initially work all routes excluding the 10 as this a different rota that you progress too through time.
He also said that at Hexham apart from the 10 which is on a different rota, you don't work any Sunday's or Bank Holidays, latest finish is usually around 8 pm apart from one late night, every 14 weeks - I think he said, which I presume is for the weekend evening 74.
But what about the Roman Wall AD122 - what drivers cover that route, I know this is just a summer season route, but it runs 7 days a week including bank holidays!! So do they have separate drivers for this route?
How do they staff the School contract runs in Hexham, especially those that use the coaches, are those specific drivers or just from normal duties?
