Being autistic myself and knowing other people with the same or behavioural problems and then having read what the parent says, I'm not at all suprised that the young kid is scared of using the bus. Personally its an overreaction but it doesn't say if there were other kids causing trouble. There is a level though between pressing a bell to get off and repeatedly pressing the bell just being a toarag.

Yes CX04 you are quite right the papers overreact but swearing and causing distress not only to the kid but to the parent I'm sure somebody would of said something. Sadly though we all like to read or listen to intolerable music so we don't know whether the drivers on his phone or whether there's a red light ahead.
Are 2156, 2157 and 2158 still to be found on Llandudno and Colwyn Bay locals or do they reside in Bangor and on Anglesey?

Thanks for any info.
The only route that they have done is 62. That is normally 0815 from Bangor if they are short and by 1015 when it returns it gets replaced either by a lowlander ( which is what seems to be happening a lot these days) solo, cadet, pulsar.

But 2157 was on it 2 weeks ago

So they are just sat in the depot the rest of the time? Or have I missed something here...

They get sent out to llandudno after. Normally the bus that goes on the first run out on the 62 0815 service heads to llandudno afterwards to llandudno depot. There is normally a spare vehicle at 10:15 which is the duty of the 562 driver previously that morning after that decker or bus has been for fueling the driver is on a break after that service. It's how the shifts work.
