VOSA Bus Registration Search

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search
Small buses will be specified on a contract as the service won't normally carry the loadings to justify a bigger bus; this will the case with any authority who is tendering a bus service (of course this excludes specialist services such as park and ride).

As for the age, 10 years old is just a little over the mid-life of a bus. In Greater Manchester, the age limit is 15 years old.

I can understand the concerns about the Wirral < - > Liverpool dead running, should one of the tunnels become blocked or closed due to industrial action! But the likelihood of that happening is very rare so I wouldn't be too concerned. I am sure Impera will factor this in to their duties, and one plus side is their buses will be travelling against the main flow of traffic to pick up the start of service in the evening.
