Meanwhile 1103 [?] on Sapphire X4 going through Brotton  1-30pm towards Middlesbrough. Had to do a double-take on that one!

Oh dear, not the first Saturday with a non Sapphire allocation on the X24, at least it's not a Solo this week though [emoji19]

Well it's 1413 because  1412 is on X46

Meanwhile, 7425 is on the 43 and a solo on the 6

Looks like they have had to make a change of vehicle as they had a 6 branded Sapphire on the X24 this morning.

Hello.

A couple of members of the forum have asked in the past if you could use the standard font used on the forum, as opposed to the font you're using which is smaller and more difficult to read.

I would appreciate it if you could acknowledge this request and use the standard font.

Thanks.  Smile

Certificate of Professional Competence - something that every driver has to have alongside their licence these days. Another money making scam!

Too cynical Wink I would love to know the actual benefits it has brought over say, a good internal training programme. I would also love to see how much it has cost each EU country to implement and monitor.
It's hard to believe it's been kicking around for so long now. Almost 10 years!

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...
