Details

The Traffic Commissioner for the West Midlands decided:

  • the standard national public service vehicle operator’s licence under reference PD1140735 is revoked under sections 17(1)(a), 17(1)(b), 17(3)(aa) and 17(3)(c) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 (as amended) (the “Act”). All orders of revocation take effect at 2359 hours on Sunday 16 June 2024.

  • I have made no order of disqualification under section 28 of the Act.

  • under section 155 of the Transport Act 2000 a financial penalty in the sum of £8,250 [£550 x 15 vehicles authorised]. This must be paid in full before this operator’s licence is revoked. Failure to do so will have a significant adverse impact on the issue of good repute upon any future application for an operator’s licence made by Travel Express Ltd and/or Mr Chumber.

  • transport manager Mr Kishan Chumber has lost his good repute as a transport manager under Schedule 3 paragraph 7A(1) of the Act. He is disqualified as a transport manager with immediate effect for four years (48 months) until 2359 hours on 03 May 2028 under Schedule 3 paragraph 7B(2) of the Act. I am unable to think of a rehabilitation measure for Mr Chumber.

  • transport manager Mr Nirmal Johal has lost his good repute as a transport manager under Schedule 3 paragraph 7A(1) of the Act. He is disqualified as a transport manager with immediate effect for three years (36 months) until 2359 hours on 03 May 2027 under Schedule 3 paragraph 7B(2) of the Act. I am unable to think of a rehabilitation measure for Mr Johal.
