(7 hours ago)Chris 1 wrote I'm not a driver there, however last year I did get an information pack off them as there were voluntary redundancies doing the rounds at my current employment.  From what I remember, breaks were back at the depot.  Paid weekly.  I only got a sample in the pack, but my understanding was you did all routes and the rota was split by 4 day, 5 day, new driver, late rota, split rota etc

As for Riverside, if the rotas are still the same you'd start/finish at the Metrocentre for the most part if you could get on the red rota.  Anything going through Gateshead though, if you take a bus from the depot chances are you'll sign off at Gateshead and have to make your own way back for your car.  Or vice versa.

Thanks mate. Sounds as if Percy Main is similar to Stagecoach as we have our breaks at depot etc. riverside is a downside with finishing at Gateshead Interchange and having to go back to depot means longer before you get to go home. 

It’s nice to know you do all routes at Percy Main compared to stagecoach where you go on a rota 62/63 for example and just do them all the time which gets very boring. I’ve heard voluntary redundancies at Stagecoach not sure how true that will be or not. I do the 32/32A services and we lose them 22nd March so gotta think of what I want to do before then.
