Does anyone know off the top of their heads what the various offences are with those transport act sections? Or is it a google job?

Section 111 is unregistered or unreliable timetables

[Steveminor]

The other sections refer more to actions the tc can take i.e attach conditions to license revoke license etc.

There was a Cadet on the 94 this afternoon. Been a long time since I saw one of those allocated.

[monkeyjoe]

What's a Cadet then sorry?

What's a Cadet then sorry?

Think Gareth may be referring to a Wright Commander bodied DAF/VDL SB200

[Gareth]

Yes, sorry they are commanders on the SB200. Was getting confused with all the various different body names. Cadet is of course on the SB120

Tut tut tut naughty naughty not running to the registered route. If you can't do it right, it shouldn't be done at all

[monkeyjoe]

Arh shame

[Steveminor]

If they "didn't know" they should have been going to solihull station why was it on their destination blinds?

[Tony]

The TC admitted there may have been some confusion over that. The fine seems fair to me. Their drivers were doing their own thing running whenever they felt like.

The difference between Claribels and the other local operators caught out recently is Claribels were doing it with well maintained vehicles and once they were found out they took actions to remedy the situation. Perhaps if GRS & Travel Express had done what Claribels have done since October they might still be running buses
