ANOTHER COACH ANOTHER TICKET
Common sense prevails, or does it.
Another coach Ticket
A coach provides a huge benefit for the transport and tourist industry and operates at full capacity mostly. Maybe it’s about time the cyclists paid some towards there upgrades costs
Does Common sense prevail. No chance with TFL. We have Transport for London.
Have they become as other coach operators admit? THE LONDON COACH POLICE
I think they should not have all this power. go and look for yourself and see how bad it’s become. In London
Maybe we should all be robots, like they are
When I’m wrong, no problem, I’ve paid enough for parking tickets in London only zones, but common sense must come into play if the situation arises.
There is never an official to clarify any traffic problems i.e. roadworks. they rely on their cameras to get evidence and not common sense, we should be as professional drivers allowed to make that decision as we are there, at that time,
It seems to me TFL would rather cause congestion than act with common sense. So in future I will legally block the road as TFL buses do always. It seems if you act with some common sense your penalised for trying to look after the company routes.
I wonder if TFL get tickets on their buses for parking illegal, In Peckham the other weekend. There was roadworks everywhere. I could have stopped legally and blocked the road to pick up an elderly group.
It was before 8am on Saturday morning not much traffic at the loading box, at a better pick up spot and a loading bay, around the corner out the way. I was no more than 10 minutes picking UP at a much quieter place. causing no obstruction unlike the roadworks. where it would have blocked the road but legally ok.
It’s about time TFL treated all transport the same. It’s also ridicules to try bring the LEZ zones in a different location until there is enough euro 6 engines available to stop fines.
Why should we be fined £100 for the non-euro 6 engines as we can’t get them quick enough, It’s a farce that we are paying £100 fine for not having euro 6 engines, surely the vehicles that are fined are still polluting London.
More revenue against coach operator’s springs to mind, when we can’t oblige due to non-engines readiness. shaving told them the reasons they still didn't cancel it
I believe most operators including my operation. don’t trust TFL, they feel let down and fed up with the whole situation. Can the mayor say that there will be enough euro 6 engines to meet demand, or I can see another industry out the door?
I had to appeal this time as awaiting a response from the robots at TFL.
The operators in London and other operators who visit with passengers can’t:
Stop, park, pick up. Go to the toilet or take legal breaks due to these un-diplomatic, un common sense robot like tickets.
It’s getting to stage where recruiting drivers will be the only way to resolve this for now,
Next time a coach is loading legally near roadworks you will all be aware why.
Maybe it’s about time the coach industry stuck up for the drivers and not rely on other parties, I kn0w Clarkes have been penalised and left in the dark, as we always are.
A coach or bus should be the same class, so why is there such a big divide according to operators between different agency’s TFL and more the list goes on
