Which add to their drivers hours.

ANY driving for hire or reward counts toward a bus drivers hours, and have to be declared to the bus company.

i cant see that working out :shock:

Y would they use a people carrrier / mini bus carrying 7-14 people when they can fit more on a single or double decker?

.......If its because they will charge you more for the people carrier / minbus then i dont think nobody will use it.

The type of people that use nat xpress coaches are using it as its cheaper than the train :) They wont pay more to use the nat xpress minbus :shock:

4th sept 2007 -Another one of them national xpress double deckers crashed again today!!


It was a single deck coach not double deck

Only if they hold PCV licence, if they use 8 seaters no pcv required.
It would only effect pcv drivers regarding duty time not driving time as driving a non pcv is counted as other duties.
