(Yesterday, 10:59 am)Storx wrote I respect that a contract is a contract but surely the college could allow some leniency here, they're getting a brand new electric bus which has 4 seats less that the contract, it's not like they're trying to run it with a midibus with a stupid number of standees allowed (ie. what Gateshead Taxis do).
It’s a Durham County Council contract to a secondary school that is the issue - would appear nobody checked the capacity with the contract spec! Contract spec is 72 seats as the council require every child to have a seat.
