Another one to soon bite the dust

Can't see it being a problem. Enforced reduction of 2 vehicles just for a month during School Holidays/out of Football season.

Uses at least 3 vehicles for their services, which leaves 1 disc available for a private hire.

It's if they need to run 2 or more coaches where problems may arise, but, they'll just cancel for day the Wakefield services as they run them commercially

I don't think the Traffic Commissioner would be impressed by them cancelling a whole day of a service for other work.
