Especially with roads with weight/road restrictions I know the usual 10A dead run avoids a road which I assume is deemed to be usafe for buses however would Riverside Depot inform them of this..
Drivers shouldn’t have to be spoon fed everything. It is part of your route knowledge to know how to get your start points. Sure it can be hard when you go into new places but it doesn’t take much to have a quick look at Google maps and decide the best way to get to your start point. Or you run via the service route - but that will take a lot longer than you are given.
We had some proper random ones at Arriva Stockton like starting half way up the 21A (now X22) at Deaf Hill, but it was an easy blast up the A19 and then off towards Station Town.
Bet you they soon find a quick route home when they’re finished on a night!
