(22 Dec 2016, 4:59 pm)Simmy Congratulations . Is this for work-experience or is it a full-time position? Either way, well done. Just don't do anything too drastic with the route branding.....

(22 Dec 2016, 9:32 pm)Tom Very well done. What will your job actually involve then as I guess there are loads of aspects to marketing.

This Flickr Photo ended up on the flickr.com/explore page and has given me loads of views / faves for a pretty average photo. Never even realized photos went on that page until today when it went from 70 views to nearly 3000.

In an era of 'fake news', I dont know whether or not this is fake. I just hope it isn't
I had a day out around Nottingham & Derby on Saturday and what struck me was just how happy and pleasant every driver was. I don't want to pretend Trent Barton are God's gift to the bus industry, but I do think their customer service focused stratagy has forced others to up their game in the region too. I rode with Trent, Arriva, Nottingham City & Nottingham Community Transport all the drivers were cheery and friendly. Conversely, the old folk I encountered around there were mean spirited and had a nasty sense of entitlement. Maybe they're still sore about getting hoofed off the Red Arrow.
Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire seem to be doing quite well for bus services. Maybe it's down to the mix of operator style: large commercial (Welglade/Trent Barton), municipal (Nottingham City), independent (Your Bus), non-profit(Nottingham Community) & multi-national (Arriva). It seems competition works best when each operator has different goals. When, as per the NE, you really only have 3 massive corporations with shareholders to please - territories are divided up, monopolies are formed and competition is kept as low as possible.
Just seen the upcoming GNE changes and discovered that the 21 will run 10 minutes later than they currently do on journeys from Durham Bus Station on Sundays which is fantastic news for me as at present I have a 28 minute gap between the 7 arriving in Durham and the next 21 departing, this will now cut my waiting times down to just 8 minutes.
Also I very much enjoyed seeing Green Day at Manchester Arena last night, currently on the train back to Darlington now.
In fact, for about the last week I've actually been in a rather good mood for some reason, no idea why considering not much different has happened and a few things that would normally annoy me have occurred and it hasn't bothered me at all.
Finally have become reliably mediocre/good at night pictures.

Hopefully the difference is clear. I'm certainly aware of it and I'm even proud of some of the work I've produced.
Have been told I will be on Work Experience to Heaton TMD in May for Engineering and other things, Just after I come back from holiday.
