All depots have leading drivers but they're stanley based, with the 43/44 suffering delays due to resurfacing of the road at sacriston there may not have been any spare leading driver and as tyresmoke pointed out the likely hood being the driver was late in from the first part of his duty and legally needing to take his break into the next part of his duty, happened a lot whilst i worked at crook.
