Transport Complaints
The Integrated Transport Service is committed to providing a
high quality service. However, there may be times when you feel
that we haven't got it right. We want to listen and learn from what
you have to say. Your comments, good or bad are welcomed.
Bus Stop Infrastructure
For more information see our Bus Shelters and Stops pages. The
council has installed CCTV in bus stops to help reduce the amount
of vandalism in the area. To find out more see our CCTV in Bus
Shelters section.

Traffic Commissioner Complaints
You can also make a complaint about the standard of bus and
coach operators, particularly on:
- Safety
- Vehicle maintenance
- Punctuality of local bus services - the Traffic Commissioners
expect all bus operators to run their services reliably and on
time. This means that 95 per cent of services should depart no
more than one minute early and no more than five minutes late.
Bus operators must register
local services they intend to
operate with the Traffic
Commissioner. The service registration must include notification
of the route to be undertaken together with a copy of the scheduled
timetable. Bus operators are
legally obliged to run to the registered timetable submitted to the
Traffic Commissioner. Failure to do so should be
reported to the Traffic
Commissioner for the North West
(address below). The Traffic
Commissioner has powers to
investigate the complaint and impose sanctions on operators who
fail to run their registered services to the required standard.
