There mustn't have been any money left in the budget for a fresh sheet of A4. they seem to rotate through all the vehicles in their fleet, including some of the link2 minibuses.

I saw someone actually catch it, the other week.

Should have quoted you into my reply to Jimmi. They rotate through a different vehicle each week, both the link 2 and the ones in county colours. I suspect they must have fallen foul of the 20 day rule for working destinations by now. Should have been pedantic and kept a diary when I saw it daily on my school run! (no longer do that run - now do the supposed to be dead straightforward round trip, 2 buses each way, twice a day from Hull hell so only see the minibus if either I pop down to the post office or it does its thing of whizzing up the road to miss out a bit of the route!)
