Hmm, well my recollection is
Hmm, well my recollection is that the Council depot was registered as an MoT test centre for the very purpose of testing its own vehicles (mark own homework, etc but maybe VOSA can police that) and you sometimes see articles about “hidden cheap MoTs” because they are obliged to offer a service to the public if they operate as a MoT centre.

This seems a lot of trouble
This seems a lot of trouble to go to to keep an un-Mot’d coach on the road? If something happened to it full of kids, there would – rightly – be all hell to pay.
I think there is a range of options to pursue this, if this is the vehicle they are using to service this route, starting with the school, LCC school transport.

Singer wins appeal over Bournemouth bus stop parking ticket
But Miss he made me do it, Miss.
Drivers and the seering injustice of a parking ticket remedied (but see photo)
Describing his reaction to receiving the tribunal outcome, he said: “It was like celebrating a goal at the football. I was in the office and I kind of fist pumped. Everyone was looking at me and I said ‘I got the parking ticket overturned’.”
Cue: victory for the little man, etc although Leonora 38 has the right idea. See also: 50 kg of equipment, brief, charidee.

Top Bath Conservative member
Top Bath Conservative member accuses council of ‘woke extremism’
so, no doubt aware of of that is going down in Oxford…
Mr Pritchard said: “People don’t want to live in your dystopian carless world where everyone will stay in their designated 15-minute zones. People want to do their bit for the environment their own way and to live their lives in freedom and comfort. Nobody has ever asked for an eco dictatorship.
