"Earlies" are usually 6am-2pm, however, some depots choose to fcuk around with the shift times! "Ours" is now 7am-3pm. & Tues- Sat, but some years it has been Mon-Fri, but Monday is a quiet day, so they have gone back to the Tues-Sat shift. Also, that shift is the last one to start, 4/12/12. But ofcourse each MC varies.
