(21 Apr 2017, 11:38 am)Tom wrote 28 passengers on this Bluebird on the R3 - absolutely disgraceful by GCT, 8 over the allowed capacity. GCT not issuing tickets is probably why Nexus don't have a higher required capacity for the tenders I'm guessing...Somebody was telling me about this issue on these services fairly recently and there has apparently been more passengers carried than the vehicle permits. Don't know if there is any truth to this but apparently they may have to allocate a bigger bus to these contracts in that area when the contracts are renewed.
Think the Bluebirds allow 20 seated passengers and 3 standees normally (depending on if there is a wheelchair/pushchair on-board.
