From the Hexham Courant:
A PUBLIC inquiry into the activities of Redesdale coach company, Snaith of Otterburn, has been adjourned.
The hearing was due to take place in Leeds next Tuesday, with the Office of the Traffic Commissioner for the North of England considering disciplinary action.
The company and its drivers were earlier found guilty of a series of tachograph offences after a trial at Newcastle Crown Court.
It is understood fresh evidence has been served on the firm and a new date for the hearing is yet to be fixed.

Heard today from a GNE driver that Howard Snaith has had the licence reduced from 90 to 30 and his son will take over.
He said that he read this in a newspaper in the 'office'.
Any one able to substantiate this?

Council terminates Northumberland contracts
At least not in the foreseeable future.
I notice that the article absolves Alison Snaith from blame and points towards rogue drivers . . .
