I guess as long as in any two consecutive weeks (Monday to Sunday) as per domestic driving rules (irrespective of when your weeks run), you have at least one period of 24 hours off duty, then you are legal.
Dont know if many have seen the PSV375, but this gives you all the rules on drivers hours - both EU and Domestic (link below)

Yup although we are almost back up to full strength at Stockton now so covering shifts is less of an issue, there a lot of people who will work rest days at our depot which always helps. We had a driver on loan to Darlington yesterday too.
Yeah there are people known to work every day with a 24 hour rest period in between to ensure they're legal to work every rest day possible! Not my cup of tea but there'll always be one or two who cane the overtime. I'm quite happy working my 5 days - although when special events come up like this I am always willing to go and help out of course
