Traffic Commissioner always goes overboard on this sort of techincality yet Arriva gets away with murder!

Obviously hadn't affected whichever vehicle was full of kids this afternoon in Durham.

It came flying down from County Hall, over Leazes Bridge and up onto the a690.

There was also a 'Croft Travel' coach either picking-up or dropping-off passengers for National Holidays earlier this evening. I observed it parked in Bewick Street at around 7pm.
