I am trying to compile a list of the pay rates for drivers throughout the northwest
I can only add the rates I or friends have been paid
These do not include weekend enhancements

Stagecoach (Hyde Road, Sharston, Stockport, Ashton) £11.00 (after 12months)
Stagecoach (Middleton) £9/hour (as of 16/11/14)
MCT £8.20/hour
[Is the difference between Middleton and the other depots the reason why there has been no link of services between Middleton and South Manchester?

Not too sure links wise but it's one of the reason Middleton is constantly short of drivers as most of the long serving Bluebird/JPT drivers transferred to other Manchester depots.
But then again it's the same at First. I believe Rusholme and Dukinfield drivers are paid less than other Manchester depots hence why they both have a constant driver shortage. Apparently Dukinfield was/is one of the most profitable depots so it's surprising that until recently there was little investment in decent vehicles and drivers were paid less than if they did the same job at other depots.
