Connelly Coaches - Profile

WE have the lowest emissions of any vehicle we pay every year for a seperate test, its been proved we are the lowest, but the mayors mistakes make us all pay for buses new exhausts, i paid 7500 for euro 4 passes every year at low TFL give nothing to coachcpmpantes except fine when there own red buses constantly park with the engines on an noines or tickets amazing si have evidence, 1 rule for one and none for tfl

The mayor in his complete lack of knowledge doesnt even comment on coaches but we are toto leave a comment as we need to get it to the top. tfl make there own rules for them selves and mayor follows like a lame dog

then the worst emissions produses he gives a 5 year gracwe and money of new vehicles, and coach compines get fined again ,even cylists pay. its about westood to these rediculas and outrages tfl are suoosed to be accountable they fine coaches companies but there own buses do what they like including leaving engines running which i prove byvideo evidence, tfl think they run london but not very honestly

1, Bendy buses 

2, new RMS made by the pevious mayor non euro complint what a joke £333,000 waste of money

3, 2 german watercanons usesls as ilegal dont get the givernment ask advice first

4,  A stadium built fro tax payers money gets giben away and we still pay

5 lasty a bridge full of flowers that dint get going, how much was that?

this time i want answers its our mobey not TFL to give away then get back from fines, i have proof that buses do what they like while coaches which are a bus get fined i want the answers 

taxis get let off and even better ban ubur its unfair and a complete mess, if you do nothing you get more. how can taxis with the highest emissions get a reward for it as money off 

the real coach guys who are the lowest get the fines its about time it was debated because why should real emissions test pay a fine when taxi dont even get theem done

it looks like we are paying foe everyone else TFL are  suposed to your money oviously it needs to be lookedinto. coaches get fined via cameras but red buses dont

blatent discrimination im chhallenging with proof

keep to the rules and pay fines and £15,000 exhaust system again 

its about time the truth came out, TFL do what they like the unknowlegable mayor follows, KEEN cyclists and walkers pay to why? Because tfl make it up as they go along 

We have triedto comment to the government as we are told but ignored and its called action for taxis not uber as tfl say are not safe

lets get th real answers please before its too late, or put some in charge who has knowledge of themm bot just a jumped up band of ex bus conductor

its our money your spending why waste it? where is the money you charge now fo emissions being spent i thhink a genuie question 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Please the new agency who print that its allowed to transport passengers to football matches and sports events to drink alcohol on board its against the law, so why are  the companies saying it on there site
get your facts right please as you are the agency taking the booking. 

the law says no alcohol to the sporting events, i suggest the company involved needs to state on the website. It makes me wonder whether theses agents are aware of  anything about transport, or about there profits

Another underhanded tax burden 

On another rant has anyone noticed the way the car tax works now, if you sell your car mid month you cant claim anything back, but you still need to buy this months tax for new vehicle #

paying twice the government must be making a mint, unless you sell your car ythe last day of th month you pay twice

It is an outrage and another way of hitting motorists, do we just sit back and let the government just take more and more. It Only happens if you sell a car after the 1st of the month, if purchase another vehicle u lose the month you have with the previous vehicle and pay another months excise on the new vehicle 

I am sure we all don't purchase cars on the 30th of the month ,but we need to in future,

With this extra tax burden  yoU cant transfer the tax, paying or losing 2 months 

Has anyone else suffered this extra pocket money fr the government - mint comes to mind 

Your remarks and comments  please

i work all days depending on the needs of the company, as a coach operator it could be any days within 24 hour periods, only as the European laws allow tho. IE tachograph rules abd regs and hours etc set by European laws/

GREAT  IDEA, Its in the latest coach weekly mag, lets hope some answer me

Subject: Air quality

I recently read in the latest copy of route one an article from G J Bagnall, I wish everyone was as honest as him and us, utter dis-belief that taxis that are PSV vehicle are exempt from ANY Charges and yet again, lets charge the coach companies. This must go under some sort of discrimination against coach companies why does the Mayor allow the worst polluting vehicles to BE exempt and Euro 4 coaches with retrofit to be fined. What is the point trying to be legal and fit euro standard exhaust when there not considered any good?

i agree with the air quality but its not fair to hit certain groups and not others or ban the lot. New operators cant maintain the constant rises or extra funding for new exhausts or engines.

TFL are ok with all tax payers money to play with, the new route master will need a new engines or equivalent.

A disgrace to the industry in my opinion, why does no group get in touch and sort this out, or is it more im alright jack by some companies, i spent time on line to add my reason and it looks like the coach companies were ignored as usual. It’s about time the coach companies acted instead of sitting on the fence and hoping it will go away. The CPT should start backing the coach industry even it meant taking the government and mayor’s office to court, it’s always the coach companies that get the raw deal.

It’s been proved that coaches are less polluted than most other vehicles as they have special exhaust systems which are expensive to fit, so what does the mayor do he makes the worst polluted vehicles exempt for 5 years, and give them a scheme to buy new vehicles, or help towards the cost, but there still not happy, they want more money,

I believe this to be decimating towards coach companies who try and keep pollution low, what makes it worse is taxi and coaches are both PCV vehicles and should be allowed the same as taxis which are psv’s

Does the mayor not like coaches? Or has he a clue?

Dear Sir                                                                                                       24 January 2017

Subject: Proposal of new North and South circular road LEZ zones

I am writing this letter to say even though it has been proven that diesel cars and taxis are by far much more a percentage of the London emissions, the mayor is still discriminating against private coach and bus companies. Does he look at the reports?

What is the point of anyone getting involved in consultations when it seems like their minds have already been made up on this issue? Or do we all go electric now?

We all agree with low emissions, but the targeting again of coach companies who have already paid large amounts of money towards new exhaust systems seems very designating, it seems harsh especially as its been proven that only 3% of coaches are causing the problem. Taxis will be able to receive grants for help with new engines but coach companies who carry vastly more passengers into London get nothing. Not fair in my opinion.

When will it end? Or will coach companies keep getting fined or charged for new euro engines or other systems. We have already now see the system’s that cost us thousands of pounds soon to be of no use so a waste of money. Something needs to be approached, so that every few years another new engine will need to be provided by the coach companies.

Yours sincerely,
