Meanwhile 1103 [?] on Sapphire X4 going through Brotton  1-30pm towards Middlesbrough. Had to do a double-take on that one!

Either 1412 or 1413 on X24, this afternoon. So much for Sapphire.

Oh dear, not the first Saturday with a non Sapphire allocation on the X24, at least it's not a Solo this week though [emoji19]

Meanwhile, 7425 is on the 43 and a solo on the 6

1595 on 64.

Looks like they have had to make a change of vehicle as they had a 6 branded Sapphire on the X24 this morning.

7423 on X12, last run the 1920 from Middlesbrough

7426 spent the day on 62/64a/S2, working the early evening 62a from New Marske before returning to the depot

EDIT: Forgot to mention the rare appearance of 1917 off the 17s - it appeared on the 9 mid afternoon

I'm told EcoCity 4811 is on the X21/X26/X66 circuit today. It was the 10:25 X66 from Middlesbrough, so it should leave Darlington at 11:20 on the X26.

Hello.

A couple of members of the forum have asked in the past if you could use the standard font used on the forum, as opposed to the font you're using which is smaller and more difficult to read.

I would appreciate it if you could acknowledge this request and use the standard font.

Thanks.

Certificate of Professional Competence - something that every driver has to have alongside their licence these days. Another money making scam!

Too cynical I would love to know the actual benefits it has brought over say, a good internal training programme. I would also love to see how much it has cost each EU country to implement and monitor.
It's hard to believe it's been kicking around for so long now. Almost 10 years!

So you have to do 35 hours (7 hours / 5 days) training every 5 years. You can complete the same course 5 days in a row and it still counts. You tell me how useful that is...
