regulatory action was required and the fleet was suspended. A new Transport manager had been proposed and the
Traffic Commissioner needed to be satisfied the Newly qualified TM was up to the job. The Operator’s licence
suspension came to an end after evidence was produced to show that very detailed and practical training had
