I know of two Diamond drivers who got fined for speeding at the old Dudley bus station. I'm sure that Simon Dunn will confirm this

Yes, inside the Bus Station,  the U turn is performed on the highway, without a no U turn sign how does a driver know he shouldn't do it?

Drivers do get fined for speeding. The operator gets the fine. Then It gets deducted from the driver's wages. The fine was either £60/60

Quote from: Jay71 on January 07, 2025, 09:44:58 PMThe bus was parked in the middle of the bus station. When he leaves the bus station he is supposed to turn left out of the bus station & go round by the police station. This clown decided to turn right & swing around by the Billiard Hall. This isn't allowed

Drivers DO NOT get fined for speeding 
If you get caught speeding a report goes to the garage or company you are from and the management will discipline you 
YOU DO NOT GET FINED

Isn't the rule of thumb, you can make u turns anywhere unless a sign prohibits it or the centre line is a solid line rather than a broken line?

I don't drive but yes, the guidance is in a safe and suitable area but I see people do it all the time by my house maybe they got the wrong turn of the island they turn into the Road do there U turn then turn back onto the correct carriageway, by the Billard Hall I believe is a Junction and Traffic Lights so the Driver can turn around there I think

It's not illegal, there isn't a no U-turn sign
You are incorrect. I've just been to WB bus station. No U turn signs are by the 74 stops. The TFWM staff pointed them out to be. 
            Also spoke to the Diamond inspector, he said that drivers shouldn't be doing this

By the 74 stops so in the bus Station U-Turns aren't allowed but outside the bus station if it wasn't allowed I'm sure WMP would have a word
