To report anything to the DVSA you need specific details of journeys not operated and the times they should have operated. Are we talking about one of the major operators like Satgecoach/Arriva etc or a smaller independent? All can be equally as guilty of missing journeys, sometimes with good reason. We are always told there is no reason for early running, lots of reasons for late running.
With this Exeter operation there appears to be no recovery time in the timetable for late running. On London services that I drive at the moment there is usually 20 minutes turn-round at each end of the route to allow for late running due to traffic, but then London is different. Typically on a"country" service 5 or 10 minutes recovery would be the norm.
The problem is with quite a big opperator in this area, Centrebus. They have several subsidised routes paid for by the County Council. They miss out quite a lot of journies so one of the County Councilors and I are putting together a list of these to ceck firstly if they are claiming money for journies that they haven't done and secondly to report to the TC.
