(17 Mar 2016, 7:24 pm)Jimmi wrote Well when you have drivers going round on Sapphire routes in the standard uniforms it's puts the Sapphire passengers (or me at least) under the impression that they are 'normal' drivers rather than Sapphire drivers, how are you supposed to tell if they've had Sapphire training if they aren't in Sapphire uniform?

I can't say I've ever paid much attention to the uniform.

And I expect that with a depot like Belmont, which has several sapphire routes, it's been more a case of rolling out sapphire training than only limiting it to a few drivers, as it was initially. By the time the training has been rolled out to enough drivers to cover all possible routes on all shifts, they would have trained the majority of their drivers, so might as well make the training routine.
