    Would it not be correct to state that Stagecoach 86 has a new timetable rather than being a new service.

    Anon @0926: I've removed the reference to it being a new service. It looks like a new registration as it was probably registered with VOSA as part of the 85 before but is now being split out. For passengers, nothing much will change other than a new timetable.

    Anon @1713: These are just to reflect a temporary change of stops served in Vincents Walk due to construction work.

    I must state for the 21st centurary how paethetic it is that operators have to register evey minor change they make to a service-Red tape is so prevelant and costly, no wonder the public get so fed up with so much nonsense

      Why shouldn't they have to register? Don't the travelling public, local authorities, etc, deserve to have some knowledge and certainty about what bus services will be operating in their area, and some advance notice of any changes to them?

      Operators in this country have more commercial freedom than pretty much anywhere else in the developed world. I really don't think there can be (or are) very many complaints from operators about having to give 56 days notice of their intentions as the price of that freedom.

      The only thing that I feel is red tape is the need to submit full registration paperwork for temporary changes that are purely due to circumstances outside the operators control such as road closures. A simpler notification system for this would be welcome.
