Not so much a rare working per se, but rather an odd sighting I spotted earlier today while driving from Whickham to Burnopfield.



If the picture is not clear, it is of a Stagecoach 'Driver Training' vehicle parked up at the bus stop just after Pack Horse in Crookgate heading towards the bank towards Byermoor.

It's not very often you see a Stagecoach bus around these parts which brings me to my next question.

When out training, are there allocated routes which the instructors keep to or are they free to roam as they please?
