One thing I have noticed is when drivers go on breaks in Northwich they find things to do on their breaks, while drivers on breaks in Knutsford spend them sat on a driver changeover vehicle (which may be a car.) One of the benefits of drivers getting a break at Knutsford was Booths card holders could claim one free takeaway coffee per day (and during the period D&G operated the 88A it was a very common site seeing D&G drivers claiming a free coffee) but they don't get that anymore.


That could provide an interesting scenario if the Cat and Fiddle road closes due to snow in that a driver who lives in Macc and would be driving Macc routes can't get to the depot to get the bus. Didn't Stagecoach poach a number of the High Peak drivers who live in Cheshire/Greater Manchester at one point?

Seem to remember Arriva had a drivers restroom in Northwich over a shop
