Licence cut for Club Travel Minibuses

O-Licence cut because of concerns over vehicle maintenance. TC gives firm one last chance with new TM

In cutting the national O-Licence held by Wakefield-based Club Travel Minibuses, from five vehicles to one, Traffic Commissioner (TC) Tim Blackmore said that it was the company’s last chance.

The company had been called before the TC because of concerns over vehicle maintenance including the alleged fraudulent completion of PMI sheets by a former director.

For the company, Bill Bowling said that there was now only sufficient work for one vehicle. They only needed one or possibly two O-Licences.  It had not tried to cover anything up and current Director Sajid Hussain did not condone what had occurred.

Sajid Hussain said that they were involved in the transport of special needs children. As a result they needed wheelchair access vehicles. Wakefield Council had decided that they could not charge any extra for wheelchair accessibility.

It was very difficult now for small operators because of the requirement for Euro VI vehicles as a result of the low emission zones coming into force. Consequently, they were sitting back to see what happened.

The TC said that he did not think that he was ever going to get to the bottom of the allegations of the fraudulent completion of the PMI sheets. Former Director Khuram Shahram was not present but had submitted written representations.

He absolutely denied filling in the PMI sheets himself using the stamp of the maintenance provider.  He maintained that he had taken the vehicles in for inspection on a “cash-in-hand” basis to mechanics employed by the maintenance contractor. It was muddied by the fact that there were two maintenance providers.

However, it was plain that the inspection system was not as it should be. Inspections were not carried out at the stated intervals. There was a lack of brake testing at every inspection.

Walk round checks were not carried out properly and there was a poor annual test record, with multiple failures and retests. The company had not produced the six months records and maintenance planner that had been requested.

Transport Manager (TM) Aftab Hussain said that he accepted that “he took his eye off the ball” and that for a period he did not act as TM as he had his own private hire licence. He had trusted the former Director implicitly. He intended to concentrate more on his TM duties in the future.

In cutting the licence, the TC warned that if there had been clear evidence of the fraudulent activity the licence would certainly have been revoked.

However, former Director Khuram Shahram had not been interviewed by DVSA and the alleged fraudulent sheets had not been produced at the Public Inquiry (PI).

He felt that he could just trust the company with a new TM in place. Any increase in vehicle authority would only be considered after two satisfactory independent systems audits.

Holding that Aftab Hussain had lost his repute as a TM, and disqualifying him indefinitely from acting as such until he passed a fresh CPC exam, the TC said that he had not had continuous and effective control of the operation and had in effect been a TM in name only.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
