Adverse findings are made under sections 17 (3) (aa) and 17 (3) (c) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981.
The operator retains its repute albeit it is tarnished.
Financial standing continues to be met.
The operator no longer has the necessary professional competence, section 14ZA (2) of the 1981 Act. I give a period of six months grace to appoint a new transport manager.
Transport manager Alan Radnor loses his repute as a transport manager and he is disqualified from holding or applying for any transport manager position within the EU until he passes new transport manager examinations.
Authority is reduced (effectively curtailed) from 12 discs to 9 discs.

I travelled on the 291, both directions recently. It was operated by Optare Solo YK05 CBY and also Mercedes O814 Plaxton Beaver T74 WGH. The latter surprised me as its some time since I saw one anywhere on stage carriage work.
