Very interesting and is possibly one of the ways they have managed to reduce costs. This would be similar to another company that only pays when 'behind the wheel driving' the sign on/off not at the depot is also another measure to be introduced.London bus drivers to go on strike over wage cutsLondon bus drivers fear their pay will be cut by over £2,000 a year, and plan to strike in a matter of days.www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/19086106.london-bus-drivers-go-strike-wage-cuts/

Probably the policy of only payed whilst behind the wheel would lead to more drivers being happy with remote sign on and lunch breaks away from the garage. If my wages stopped when I got to Cromwell Road bus station I'd probably consider taking my break at McDonald's or Subway etc in Kingston then making my way back to a garage. Same with my finish time if I wasn't responsible for taking the bus back i might be happy to sign off at the bus station then get my bus home.
I'm sure the ultimate aim would be to reduce non driving staff at depots. Maybe even demolish staff facilities to fit more vehicles in.
