S54 is too, it's normally me or one other driver who operates them both (alternate weeks). Normally runs about 30 seconds to a minute in front of the service bus so the service bus doesn't get bombarded with schoolkids. They're the only 2 school duplicates that are operated in house. And yes, we have enhanced DBS badges and also badges from Northumberland County Council, the company paid for these and also pay for us to keep them up to date

Exactly, the S54 and S43 are operated as closed school services with regular max capacity and no social distancing in operation, so only schoolchildren can use them. If a parent wishes to travel with their child they have to use the service bus that's normally about 30 seconds behind.
