just been on the central website  . see there advertising
for drivers for both Birmingham and Kidderminster depots
did not think they would  need  any  at Kidderminster
with  it just the 125 running  .as it seams not to have
any gaps  .

They are always in need of drivers. The problem is that the wage is too low which means drivers turn to companies like NX with higher wages.

From what I heard from an ex-driver is that duties are very long.

That was the maximum of what he was talking about, more likely 11 or 12 hours but 13 was not unheard of.

Diamond do have duties of 13 hours but there are a number of shorter duties of maybe 8 or 10 hours plus a lot of Diamond drivers     only work 4 or 5 days or do 3 or 4 longer days and 2 or 3 short duties.
