Five days a week, the sky is pitch black when George, a first-year student at Liverpool John Moores University, wakes up for work. No buses are available at that time, so he leaves the house at 2.45am to walk the 3.7 miles (6km) to work for his 4am shift.
He has a quick sit-down before he begins a four-hour shift collecting items around the supermarket for delivery. Depending on whether he can afford the £2 fare that day, he will get a bus, or retrace his steps back to campus. Then it is time to go to lectures.
