Stagecoach North East: Rare & Odd Workings - December 2018

Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2018

1593 in Jesmond minus an engine.

I'm currently looking to create a suggestion timetable. On top of driving the bus and any other vehicles associated with the duty if required, how long does a driver get to do the following:

- First use in the morning including collecting float and doing walkaround of bus before leaving depot.

- Signing on for duty during the day (not first use) including collecting float etc before leaving depot.

- Arriving back to depot to sign off including cashing float back in.

No wonder operators traditionally struggle to recruit and retain staff.

South division pay starts at £8.25 for new starters...

Hey guys...

Been a while since I posted...

Today I am asking for your generosity.

6 months ago my missus was diagnosed with Stage 2 Cervical Cancer, and recently it's progressed to Stage 3, through Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy, she ended up having clumps of hair coming out and a couple of weeks ago she had her her shaved, this has absolutely shot her confidence and has been hard Psychologically, so in 3 weeks time in a show of solidarity I have signed up to MacMillans Brave The Shave, I am shaving my hair off in a show of solidarity with my Missus.

If anyone could dig in there pockets and sponsor me, I would be grateful, no matter how small, every donation counts towards the work of what is a Truly Wonderful Charity

Just curious to know how many times a bus is cleaned? I.e. Windows Washed, Interior Cleaned as most times I'm on a bus it doesn't feel fresh, an example of this was my Arriva Sapphire 24 experience, rubbish all over the floor, marks on seats, filthy windows, some leather pulled off 1 or 2 seats and it looked like it needed a good clean.

Why do some journeys never seem to track on the app?

I've been trying to work out which depots runs all the misc works and scholars, and certain ones never seem to appear on the app every day, the same journeys each time.

Some of the morning 90s never appear neither do the same couple of short 94s. Emmanuel College always seems to be one bus short, always the same one. The 525 never appears. It can't be the same actual vehicles each time.

Actually its listed for Disposal, but a minibus shouldn't be on the 64 anyway.
