Two school bus operators, J & M Burns and Kineil Coaches, have had their school contracts terminated after the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency carried out safety checks.
Maria Walker, Aberdeenshire Council’s director of education and children’s services, said: “Given the serious nature of the two immediate prohibition notices, termination of contract notices were issued to the two operators in receipt of these prohibition notices.”
J & M Burns are appealing against the decision. There is more on the Evening Express website: https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/bus-operator-contracts-terminated-after-safety-checks-on-vehicles1/
