Too true!

(20 Dec 2016, 9:02 am)tyresmoke wrote So you have to do 35 hours (7 hours / 5 days) training every 5 years. You can complete the same course 5 days in a row and it still counts. You tell me how useful that is...

Whereas a structured training programme could monitor driving standards, do things like 1st Aid and much more over the same period with a much lower cost.
Then there's other EU countries apparently running the same CPC - but I bet it isn't to the same standards nor quality.

Anyone know why NK12 FLL is working ashingtons 35A?

When I arrived in Morpeth at around 12:00, both 4653 and 7517 were leaving Morpeth Bus Station NIS, I assume this replaced one of them, as around an hour later I saw 7416 come in from Newcastle.

Think it's the 14:05 5 off Darlington although who knows with how bad things have gotten, Darlington is essentially a standstill by all accounts.

7424 on X12 - 1005 off Middlesbrough (which also makes it the last departure from Middlesbrough tonight at 1920)
