Just for your notes UNA822/829S were actually northern counties not Park Royal. They were part of the re-Reged batch of atlanteans (from the fvr-v batch?) |

And at least one walked straight out of Jail into the employment of another cowboy Operator that has also thankfully now ceased - albeit the proprietor is still trading with two or three ancient coaches.......or was until recently. |

If we’re talking about the same person he then moved on to another operator in the area. |

He had his 'licences' revoked at a PI in November last year. No doubt he will be back at some point. As for the person that walked out of jail..... I believe he now has a very well paid job within the rail industry. |
