Making a Complaint

If you have a complaint about any bus, or regular coach service you should first write to the operator about it. Be sure to give precise information about the date, time and route number of the journey(s) concerned. If possible enclose your ticket. You should give the company a chance to respond before considering any further action. There is no statutory consumer body that can follow up bus service issues in the borough, but for some types of complaint there are ways to get problems investigated independently, for example the Bus Users UK website.
