§ Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the234W results were of the bus compliance officers investigation into the stagecoach red and white service between Llandogo and Monmouth; and what subsequent action has been taken. [35008]
§ Ms KeebleMonitoring of the service by vehicle inspectorate bus compliance officers took place during December 2001. One timetable irregularity was found.
As a result of the monitoring exercise, the traffic commissioner decided that Red and White Services Ltd. should be reminded of their obligations to operate services in accordance with the registration, and that they could face disciplinary action if they do not. A letter to that effect was sent to the operator by the Welsh Traffic Area Office on 23 January 2002. The letter also advised that further reliability monitoring of the service would be conducted in the near future.
