EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations further amend the Public Service Vehicles (Registration of Local Services) Regulations 1986 ("the principal Regulations") in respect of England and Wales. The Regulations replace the 42 day period of notice, as prescribed by Regulation 5 of the principal Regulations for registering or applying to vary or cancel a registration of a local service, with a period of notice of 56 days. The Regulations further revoke Regulation 9(2)(c) of the principal Regulations, which permitted a registered service to be varied to a time either 5 minutes earlier or 5 minutes later than the registered time without the need to vary the prescribed particulars of the service.
