Thandi Red Ltd receives financial penalty under TaA 2000

Article summary

The PSV operator Thandi Red Ltd has received a financial penalty under section 155 of the Transport Act 2000 (TaA 2000) of £1500. This comes after the Traffic Commissioner for West Midlands held a recent public inquiry and found that the operator failed to comply with the Public Service Vehicles (Open Data) (England) Regulations 2020, in particular having failed to provide location data for the vehicles operating the registered services. The penalty is based on a £100 penalty for each of the vehicles authorised on the operator’s licence. The commisioner reduced the authorisation of the operator’s licence from 20 vehicles to 15 vehicles for 14 days.
