Are they paid? Tamworth has a fleet LWB buses from Swadlincote CT doing "routes" (signs in windscreens) id estimate at least 8 of them

If the drivers are paid they must need a full D1 licence (at least)?

How the hell do they keep the "CT" (charity)/volunteer service label when drivers are being paid a wage?

They're all over the gaff round here, they're social services buses. After they've done their school runs they're out on the local estates picking people up and taking them into town.

Martin Allen of Mansfield is continuing his fight with the EU over such matters.

They're operating right where Martin Allen lives, in Forest Town.
