Bus Services: Working Hours
(asked on 15th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his policy is on implementation of EU rules on domestic bus driving hours.
This question was answered on 20th July 2015
The EU drivers’ hours rules (Regulation (EC) 561/2006) requires Member States to lay down their own rules for vehicles used for the carriage of passengers on regular routes where the route covered does not exceed 50km. In GB, the domestic drivers' hours rules (contained in the Transport Act 1968) meet this requirement.
