Mind speaking of these NSA's, the school buses are a right grey area on whether they should have them aswell. Reading through the regulations there's only exceptions for closed door services and as far as I'm aware none of the services, especially in Nexus land and Durham are. If I'm right then these are going to fall under the same problem, and coaches aren't exempt either.
Be interesting to see how the likes of A Line react when they're forced to down the line in 2 year or so or whether Nexus changes the services to closed door to avoid it.
Never mind the NSAs, I’m more bothered about unsuitable buses (E200MMCs)on my route, the 351. It regularly turns up at my stop full and standing now. Although it is good to see more passengers from new estates using the bus, it would be good to have bigger buses to accommodate them.
