The traffic commisioners have taken strong action against Veokia Cwmru
Adverse decisions made out under Section 17(3) (a), 17(3) (aa) and 17(3) (c) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981.
Adverse decisions made out under Section 26(1) (a), 26(1) (b) and Section 26(1) (c) of the Transport Act 1985.
Your vehicle authorisation is curtailed from 396 to 277 (a reduction of 119) with immediate effect.
Your company will specify vehicles used on the licence within 28 days, to show the Office of the Traffic Commissioner in Leeds the list of the 304 vehicles from which 277 discs are to be used, and to have for inspection by VOSA proof as to which 277 vehicles are used at any one time.
A financial penalty under section 155 of the Transport Act 2000. The penalty will be £100 per disc issued (329 disc in possession). A total penalty of £32,900 to be paid to the Welsh Assembly within 28 days. Failure to pay goes against the company’s repute.

, so obviously havent learnt their lessons from London. Everywhere else (including Jersey) the connex name is still alive, however in the UK they use Veolia. I suspect cause Connex got such a bad name with the trains. The Welsh companies were fine until Veolia came along and brought them out. I think there was one operation owned by Clayton Jones and he didnt want to see but his Wife made him as the offer was well under what the company was worth and since then Veolia in Wales are nearly as bad a First Cymru.
