TL Shift Pattern

[PaulO76]

Hi, would anyone know what the current shift pattern roughly looks like at TL for drivers. I've searched the forum and came up with a thread but that was from 2015 and wanted to know if it had changed much.

Three week repeating rest day pattern with long weekend every three weeks. Four day week with 12 committed Sundays a year (8 for existing drivers) on top - effectively making it 4.25 day week for new entrants but Sunday pay is extra. If you can find someone to cover it you don't have to work it . Some very extreme start and finish times depending on the depot as some routes run 24 hrs. Work now has far less variety than before and is depot specific... Eg: same routes every day.

Very useful.

Thanks. Are Brighton (or tb) likely to take qualifieds at any point?
