Perhaps they applied for an exemption under Section 43 of the DDA 1995, with the Secretary of State authorising the use of a non-complying service vehicle following a full accessibility inspection for a special authorisation order.

I joke of course but I did read somewhere that you can display destination information in the windscreen so long as it meets the same character standards, and that the vehicle has met all of the other DDA measures, and that the destination board has to be faulty/unable to display the destination (So long as it's intended to be fixed). For example if a bus was running short on NYE (such as the last 89 to Belle Vale) and Belle Vale isn't available on the blind, you can show "89 Belle Vale" in the front window closest to the doors.

Upon posting this I've since read that these relaxations apply only for the first 21 days of
operation of such services with the vehicle.

J8 HTL and YJ11 EKK were on the 196/147 tonight in place of YJ61MOA/F.

there was a 11 plate solo twice on the 603 last week nearly always the 12 plate

Theirs always a solo on there and can be any reg

Anyone know what Solo was involved in the accident on the 206 earlier?

YD63 VCE or YD63 VCG apparently

It was VCE involved in the accident today.

Solo YJ10MBF is now on its was to Dawsonrentals to HTL!

Not sure how long it is going to be at HTL for, probably until YD63VCE comes back from repairs?
