West Midlands Traffic Commissioner Nick Denton revokes O-licence of North Warwickshire Travel Ltd, trading as People Movers and disqualifies Michael James as a Transport Manager
A failure to operate local bus services in accordance with the law was among the factors which led to the revocation of Midlands operator’s O-licence by Nick Denton, Traffic Commissioner (TC) for the West Midlands.
North Warwickshire Travel Ltd, trading as People Movers, which is based off Kisses Barn Lane, Warton, near Tamworth, holds a standard international passenger vehicle O- licence (PD1063541) for six vehicles. The licence was granted in August 2006, when the company’s name was D & DH Transport Services Ltd.
