OVERVIEW DCP CREWING SYSTEM
• Looked at other services, MFRS particularly
• System of ‘positive’ and ‘standby’ hours: 42 positive, 42 standby per week (average)
• Positive 12-hours shifts during day - standby on nights from purpose built accommodation within station grounds – shift = 24hrs
• 14 staff rather than 28 – provision for 5 riders
• Response times same = no change for the public
