I noticed that on their page last week. Interesting how some of their drivers very quickly jumed in to defend their fellow driver despite the fact he is breaking the law!
Although this is nothing new, ive witnessed drivers using their phones in the past and one driver who often drove on daytime sunday 169's often texted while driving.

If i had managed to get a photo i would have been straight to the police!

its one of them really the only issue i have with this is he is putting other peoples lives a risk for no reason and thats just pure stupid

Could'nt agree more, although its nothing new in my opionion. a lot of JPT drivers, and to be fair Bluebird drivers do it as well, wear Bluetooth headsets while driving. Its an issue that has been brought up on JPT's facebook page in the past and they always avoid the issue.
Allowing bus drivers to use their mobile phones in any way while driving, whether it be phone to ear, or through Bluetooth or earphones is wrong and should be banned.
Stagecoach dont allow their drivers to use their mobile phones in the cab at all - this should be something the traffic commisioner imposes on all operators!
