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.

Primo is YN55YSC formerly with TM Travel in Sheffield then Glovers of Ashbourne, no stranger to me!!

Certainly a tad too small for the early morning services!
