The PVSAR manual for regulated bus services includes numerous things that destination screens must meet, these include the position on the vehicle, size of the characters, the actual word of the destination rather than just a number, and must be illuminated.

Yes I know it very well the rules they allow paper in event of non-working screens but they have to be to a set standard, and you have to have them screen fitted.

I get emails all the time about as The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) are starting to pick up on Rail Replacement not displaying their signage correctly as just putting Rail Replacement or the bus number is not within the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000

that the reason they have this.

DETR hopes that prosecutions will be unnecessary. However, prosecutions will be considered where
systematic abuse of the Regulations has taken place, or where operators deliberately flout the law. It is not
envisaged that one-off non-compliances, such as a "stopping" sign not working, would lead to
prosecution. but for short term use they can get away with it as it better to have a bus with out then no bus.


5. Enforcement and Vehicle Inspection
Enforcement
Unless an appropriate special authorisation order is in place, it is a criminal offence (under Section 40(3)
of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995) for an operator to use a regulated public service vehicle for a
local service or scheduled service if that vehicle does not conform with any relevant provision of the
Regulations.
The offence carries a fine not exceeding Level 4 on the standard scale (currently £2,500). The offence
can be both a corporate and individual one, ie both the operating company and/or an individual
responsible (e.g. director, manager or secretary) for a non-compliance with the Regulations can be
prosecuted. It is essential, therefore, that everyone involved understands the requirements of the
Regulations and their responsibilities. Operating companies may wish to set up training courses to ensure
that their staff are briefed fully on their legal obligations.

The 1995 Act does not prescribe any authority as the one responsible for initiating prosecutions. Both the
Vehicle Inspectorate and the police may bring prosecutions for non-compliance with vehicle regulation.
The DETR hopes that prosecutions will be unnecessary. However, prosecutions will be considered where
systematic abuse of the Regulations has taken place, or where operators deliberately flout the law. It is not
