Hi, I noticed that from 10 February 2020, the above two routes are operating the 331 Bristol via Leicester to Bradford and the 338 Leicester via Bristol to Paignton. Does anyone have any gen on whose operating these services, driver duties etc.
Also the 23.40 Nottingham to Stanstead service arr. 04.00 on route 349, can anyone confirm this is operated by Woods of South Wigston, and what service does this vehicle and driver then operate?
Grateful for any info.
Many Thanks
Mike

I found this timetable for the 331, sorry I can't find who runs it but it would appear to be double manned from the timings. Also the evening journey calls at Cheltenham and Gloucester but the morning one doesn't for some reason.

Both routes will be operated By Edwards Bristol i beleve crewing will work as follows

331 Driver 1 Bristol - Leicester - Back with the 339 service to Bristol

Then you will have about 6 drivers who will work on a over night rosta

DAY 1 338 Bristol - Leicester
Day 2 331 Leicester - Bradford - Leicester
Day 3 338 Leicester to Paignton
Day 4 338 Paignton to Bristol
Day 5 339 Bristol to Leicester then 331 Back to Bristol

Thanks for this interesting info Matt. Given the 331 arrives into Leicester 1000 does that mean the driver who does the Bristol to Leicester leg on Day 1 will be inactive until the following afternoon?

Excellent, thank you for the info, Its always interesting how the puzzle all fits together; the 330 Nottingham - Penzance overtook me on the M69 this morning on my way home from work, and as we know is operated with an Edwards vehicle, I work from about 1am in the morning starting in Leicester and often see the northbound 334 on its evening/overnight/morning ramble from Bournemouth to Glasgow.
