VOSA Bus Registration Search

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search
These services are already running, mostly with elderly coaches such as a D reg Setra!
They're "LifeScience" shuttles for school children.

Not the safest of buses mind, the driver of the C2 (usually a Setra coach) frequently lets the children run about, I've often seen them sat on the windscreen or stood on the stairs talking to him. Passes Stockbridge Lane at 8.05 and BelleVale about 8.20 each day

Here is a photo of the "C3" aka the current CUC3 http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgeupsta.../lightbox/ from 'Georgeupstairs' as posted earlier is in fact one of the above services

No they're not public services, "works or schools" is a category on the route registration form that helps to show the service only runs term/industrial times, and not an everyday service, it runs as and when required.

It's more likely to be a late registration acceptance or the company is trying to avoid a fine from VOSA by actually registering them if they are to be accepting cash fares

Yes, I have seen them at or close to Stockbrdge Lane at the time you say, I have seen one go through Bootle Strand at around 8.30 as well. The photo you have posted makes the pally look tidy, must have just been painted as the ones I have seen couldn't really be described as tidy.

Indeed...they seem to park up most of the day in the front yard of what was Cains Brewery in Jamaica Street...

What I don't understand is the reference to CENTRO and roadworks in Wolverhampton on the C3 registration.

While I can see your problem with kids sitting in the front windscreen what is actually wrong with kids standing up talking to the driver on a School/College service, I know for one that some small operators build a rapport with the driver and kids by having the same driver doing the same service day in day out.

This is one of there fleet

VOSA have the operator's licence showing as "curtailed" with an allowance for two vehicles. Together Travel Ltd's director is shown as Mr Donnelly of Maypole.

The operating centre at Spencers Lane, Melling, has an interesting list of operators against it:

ANDREWS TRAVEL LIMITED PC1126006 (SN) Application in Progress
JOHN DONNELLY PC1050929 (SI) Revoked
ROY ALLANSON PC1103025 (SN) Valid
TIMELINE LTD PC0004278 (SI) Surrendered
TOGETHER TRAVEL LTD PC1100558 (SN) Valid (Curtailed)

Don't know anything about Roy Allanson but I wonder if Andrews Travel is to be the successor to Together Travel.
