Work-life balance has become important and that short journey along the A167 to the nearest Arriva depot versus the hassle of getting to a Riverside will come into play. Would you really want to sit on the bypass or Low Fell in traffic after a long driving shift or have a shorter commute home and see the family/dog/playstation/mates etc
You think CLS is bad, Hexham is even worse. If it's an outstation then there won't be any engineering staff or a very limited staff needed. Now that is an awful commute for those staff members having a 20 mile+ commute every day especially if it's Consett when the snow comes in.
