Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between REDDITCH BUS STATION and REDDITCH BUS STATION given service number 57/57A/58/58A effective from 23-Feb-2014. To amend Timetable.

How have they managed to get a service change so fast? I thought it was 56 days' notice??!!

There is circumstances of where a short notice can be given.

Such as?

Yes, bus services should be registered with a minimum of 56 days notice.

Registrations may be granted at short notice, using PSV350A form. [Or it was called that last time I dealt with similar]

The support of the LA (Local Authority) is usually required quoting one of the following reasons:

   
• The change is in the week which includes 24-25 Dec, Good Friday or any bank holiday (21 days' notice required);
• You are replacing a substantially similar service by another operator (name the operator);
• The service is not public or not much used by the public (eg school bus);
• At the request of an LA or police on safety grouds or traffic regulation (evidence required);
• A special occasion or event for a period of no more than 21 days' duration (name the occasion);
• The change is of no more than 10 minutes or to connect with an altered rail, ferry or air service (name the service);
• The change is for 14 days or less, for the period of a local holiday (give details);
• There is a need to meet an urgent or exceptional transport requirement (give details);
• Unforeseen circumstances, explanation required.

That's about right, and certain circumstances found off the VOSA website.

The Redditch Borough Council's supported 59 service from Churchill centre to Alexandra Hospital has been terminated from the 22nd-Feb-2014.

Thanks for posting that link Solo1-they certainly seem to be getting through the centros fairly fast. Mind you, some did look awful. Let's hope the cadets are next

The new branding looks absolutely fantastic in my opinion. So far though looking through Nathan, John and Tony's pictures of it, they are all of the offside. Is the nearside exactly the same or any different. Thanks for putting the photos up though-they're all great and help if you're not in the area to see it for yourself :)
