The PSVR (2000) legislation states that a vehicle that does not accommodate standing passengers can be classed as a coach. As most van style vehicles are not designed for standing passengers the coach rules do apply.
In any event the vehicle in question (16 seat Renault Master) is exempt from the PSVAR / DDA rules as the act applies to vehicles with a capacity of 22 or greater used on regulated service routes.
