About this record
Operators must register every local bus service, every change to it and its withdrawal with a Traffic Commissioner — normally at least 42 days before it takes effect (70 days in Scotland), which is why changes appear here before they happen. This page reproduces the official record for registration PC1033334/578 from DVSA’s published data, refreshed weekly. A registration describes the legal service and can differ from the marketing route name and from the timetable actually operated.
