MINIBUSES


INTRODUCTION

This page sets out the procedures, and terms and conditions for using minibuses operated by ATWEST
Our minibus service is available only to non-profit making community and voluntary groups in West Somerset.
All minibuses are operated under the Small Bus Permit legislation. ATWEST is the registered holder of a Small Bus Permit for each minibus, and every booking is carried out under the terms of the Permit. This means that:

* A minibus can only be used by groups registered with ATWEST.
* A minibus cannot be booked by an individual or a member of the general public.
* All minibus use takes place in the name of ATWEST.
* A minibus cannot be booked for activities (or as part of activities) which are profit making. This means that a minibus cannot be booked by a private business.
* A minibus can only be driven by someone who is on the ATWEST Register of Drivers who has received training from Somerset County Council.

 

It is important to realise that demand for minibuses in our fleet often exceeds the available supply and, therefore, we cannot guarantee that a user will be able to make all the bookings they would like.
