Will find out for you Nathan :) I know the 3/4 are on the same rota. Think (Not too sure) that the 2 is on the 255/6 rota? 59 is on its own dedicated rota so is the 126. Although 59 drivers do sometimes do the 25/8/79/126

Yes from what I gather the 1 is on its own rota, as I see certain "distinctive" drivers only on the 1

From this comment and the other topic you've started recently, and for anyone else's benefit, I'll try and explain what happens regards drivers shifts (I don't mean to come across patronising!)

Running Board - A piece of paper detailing the workings of that particular bus for that day such as what route, time of journeys & dead running etc.  With NXWM the running board is given to the first driver who takes the bus out, and remains on the bus until it has finished for the day. Each subsequent driver notes what the journey times are and the route they should be driving from this.

Duty - Each driver will be allocated to a particular duty when they are working. The duty will detail what running boards the driver is driving and from where and at what time the driver should be taking over/coming off that vehicle. Usually the duty will involve driving at least two buses, with a legal break in between. Each side of the break can be referred to as a 'portion'.  A rather simple example is below:
Duty: 1001
Bus 51/10 - On: 0900, WA Garage - Off: 1030, Walsall Bus Stat.
Bus 51/15 - On: 1115, Walsall Bus Stat - Off: 1600, Walsall Garage

Week or Line - Each working week is split between Rest Days and days in work. On the days when the driver is working, they will be assigned a Duty. This duty can be different for every day they are working that week, but should be similar in times to the other dutys. For instance, week one might involve Rest Days on Sunday & Monday, and then Duty 0001 on the remaining days. At NXWM, weeks are generally classed as Earlys, Lates or Splits.

Rotas/Roster - Drivers will all belong on to a rota. Most commonly these are created of around 50 or so drivers who drive a certain group of similar routes. Sometimes a rota can be formed around hours worked (rather than routes), such as a part time or 4 day rota. The rota will be made up of a certain number of weeks or lines (in theory the same amount to the number of drivers), so that each driver will be working a certain line of the rota. In most cases the driver will move down the rota weekly so the driver should not repeat that same week for, in this example 50 weeks. The lines of the rota should in theory ensure every single duty in the garage is covered every day.   

So for example a driver at Walsall, may belong to the Willenhall Rota which is made up of drivers of the 8/40/41/69/89/335 & 336 services. This week he may be on Week Six out of the 50 on the rota, which dictates what days he is working, and what dutys he is doing on the days he is in. Those Dutys inform him the hours he is working on that day and the running boards he will be driving and at what points during those hours.
