Operator Keeps Licence at Public Inquiry

This Operator suffered a complete breakdown in their compliance regime following the breaching of Undertakings given at a previous Public Inquiry. Forward-planning was non-existent; record-keeping was sparse and intermittent; and drivers were regularly pulling driver-cards. There was also a pressing Financial Repute issue to be resolved.

It was clear from the outset that Revocation was a very real possibility, as indeed the Traffic Commissioner said. The outcome was somewhat different: Formal Warning for the Operator and drivers; No action for the Transport Manager; further Undertakings accepted.
