If that's the guy who did the trip to Coopers and Tyne Valley last year then I will not be attending this event. I still have painfully memories of being stuck at the metro centre for over an hour.

That's interesting as they've based a vehicle there for years, even back when I did the X22 (as it is now) regularly about 4 years ago.

Traffic commissioner clamping down on accidental operating centres.
Anywhere a vehicle under an o-licence is stationed regularly is subject to being formally notified otherwise strict penalties are being enforced.
RE: Garnetts - Dan - 04 Aug 2017
Gateshead Central Taxis best crack on and notify the traffic commissioner about a number of their buses being stationed at the drivers' home addresses!
