Notices and Proceedings

Each traffic area publishes its own issue, usually every week, with a number and a date. A new bus or coach operator licence application appears first under applications received, and the issue prints the objection deadline. The decision follows in a later issue, as a grant or a refusal. Variations, public inquiries and licences revoked, surrendered or terminated are in the same issue.

Goods vehicle operators appear in a separate weekly bulletin, Applications and Decisions, which we read in the same way. Public inquiries listed in either bulletin are on upcoming public inquiries. To check a coach or bus company before you book, use coach and bus operators by county or the biggest coach and bus operators.

Companies are named. Sole traders and partnerships are counted, not named, because their operator name is usually a person’s name.
