No, Diamond have registered the majority of 250/1 journeys commercially & are taking over the 64 from Igo early.

I understand they're struggling for drivers which is causing operational issues.

Of course they can, but it is a completely seperate license, so would have to take another driving test

On top of that remember there is all that discussion over whether section 22 permits can be used on stage carriage service a decision is due by the end of the year. Could be fun if blue or green discs are required as most igo ones are white!!

Hmm.

One wonders if Igo will be around in the long term then?
