Appear to have cancelled all registrations - I think all schools except the 334.

sorry - not making myself clear, what I meant was all the routes cancelled, apart from the 334, were schools.

Do "Thandi Executive" do anything else under different 0-licences - the only one I spotted was the 335.

I think 335 is run by corporate express.

Yes - just spotted that. Seems rather odd - I would have thought Thandi's just booked their school bus drivers off in holidays.

They aren't supposed to be on there at all. Are we saying Thandi or someone other than Arriva  has been seen on the 334 since 13th Jan?

Thandi are still on the 334. Elite deregistered, but Thandi registered the same jouneys, so they now have two registrations for the same service

Neither of which appear to tie up with what was published in N&P and copied above.  VOSA publication search only pulls 7, and says Darlaston!
Licence 5 never seems to have found its way into N&P.
