A bus driver who works at Arriva North East's Whitby Depot can get the X93 to Middlesbrough, X7 to Sunderland, Metro to Newcastle Central, Stagecoach 100 to Metrocentre and back, and also the X15 to Berwick upon Tweed - completely free...
Go North East staff - if they so wished - could even get the train to Brighton and get on all of the Brighton & Hove buses for free too!
I remember Scarlet Band also used to let Arriva drivers travel to Faverdale depot back when they used to run the 16/19 past there.
