I’d like to think your talents are remaining in the industry…but was the siren call of bus painting MD Marty G and lumo perhaps too hard to resist?
Or is it something local council related, perhaps ahead of franchising…
Maybe Arriva….or have the Saudis seen you dressed as a rocket and decided you’re the man to lead Newcastle united to commercial glory

I’m going to have to keep you in suspense a little longer, though, I’m afraid - Rocketman Dan benefits from having February off before taking up his new role![emoji6]

It seems similar to Arriva Redcar, where the deckers on the X93 were evidently sent out last summer without having issues rectified as they constantly broke down on consecutive days. Essentially a sign of engineering either not taking defects seriously, or trying to cut corners.
