Operational problems
Last updated | 24/04/2007
In the event of a breakdown, accident or transport becoming immobilised, pupils will be instructed to stay in the vehicle until alternative transport can be organised. Where it is deemed dangerous to remain in the vehicle, the pupils will be guided by the driver/escort to a safe place and pupils must remain here and not attempt to walk to school/home.
In adverse weather conditions the driver will use their discretion as to whether a road is passable or not. Parents can help operators by notifying them of adverse conditions in their area.
All drivers have access to mobile phones or similar to maintain contact with their base, the school(s), the Public Transport Unit and parents.
