Time was when traffic commissioners were male, ex-army, upper middle class types. I even recall one turning up at Bristol’s The Gaunt’s House, then the HQ of the western traffic area, in a Rolls. With her new mischievous hairstyle, whitened teeth and red lippy, today’s western traffic commissioner couldn’t be further from the former stereotype. Does anyone else agree red jacket-wearing Sarah Bell looks a little like Sue Lawley in her ‘Nationwide’ days? Follow this link to routeONE and turn to pp30-1.

Don't be fooled by the glamorous appearance, she's a lady with steel underneath - as some operators have discovered!

There one like that north of the border. Joan put the boot right in to First Aberdeen, she even told the management I will only be speaking to them and not the layers. Stalin granny by chance!

Joan was the one who told First Aberdeen that they were operating more than they could handle.

When First replied they had withdrawn some services to use resources elsewhere, she said that they shouldn't be cutting services.

Yeah, so that makes sense! Nice to see some consistency...
