I think it’s very poor to send drivers out with idiot sheets driving a route they have never done before. It was one of the massive criticisms of UK North all them years ago and it’s still happening now.

Bumped into a friend I know from RR who now working for Diamond after losing job at MCT he told me his old company used to have old coaches and buses and did get pulled by TC but they was minor. he tells me Diamond ae sending buses out with no oil and other issues that if they will pulled for checks there would be a good telling off by TC. I know by First Oldham some of the buses they have returned have been ran to the ground with little cleaning done to them.

They have ordered new buses that some have no tree guard and I told him this and he was not aware that some has and some dont have so it going to happen a tree is going to be hit and a window put in as drivers will not know if there bus has a guard.
