I don’t mind travelling, I’d have to travel a fair amount to get to either Percy Main or Washington

It's rather unhelpfully not quoted on the Arriva website any more, but I always thought the 36 hours was at Durham; with Blyth/Ashington being 38 or 39?  I believe both Northumbria & Durham are 45 minutes unpaid break.

I've seen old Percy Main rotas.  All duties start/finish at the depot, a good sized 4 day rota if that floats your boat and a decent number of weekends off.
