GCT Bluebird SF14 FAE providing the shuttles today. Rode it a couple of times, and got talking to the driver. Seems really nice and informative, but he told me he doesn't really like the shuttles because he has to do 12 hours with no breaks other than any spare time at the bottom of Chester-le-Street.

Somebody can probably explain it a bit better.
(21 Mar 2015, 5:20 pm)MarcTheA4 When I mentioned the driving regulations I had heard of (after he mentioned 12 hours with no set breaks) he said that was only for service work. Confused me a bit, but I'll just take his word for it.

(27 Mar 2015, 9:00 pm)Dan I think one of the main issues with that is the fact that a customer has had to walk onto the road in the Interchange to actually board the vehicle, due to a Streetlite on the 53 being parked in front, which is a hazard.
