Are they allowed to display the number plate registration with two spaces, so it reads BU5 4 HUT? I've never seen that before.

A lot of people do that with plate so it looks like it’s saying something it is illegal though as they are meant to not have a space between the first letter and last number

Timetable for the 47 finally available on Bustimes:

It's a little different to the original timetable though and suggests it is probably being run with just one vehicle all day, though there is still no tracking yet to verify that.

I have seen Facebook posts from people saying they've purchased annual passes for WOB and now can't use them on the Howards services.

The new 10 service takes quite an interesting route and even serves Daresbury Sci Tech in the peaks!

Shame this information is only just becoming available.
