A BUS firm that had lost its licence for breaking regulations has claimed Island Coachways is guilty of similar breaches.

Guernsey Chauffeur Drive had to cancel its two night bus services, from Town to the Bridge/L’Ancresse and to St Martin’s, after the Environment Department took away its licence on Friday.

Environment sent a letter to the company detailing contraventions, including waiting at the bus layby near the Thomas de la Rue pub for between eight and 15 minutes and not displaying a public omnibus plate on the rear of the vehicle.

Guernsey Chauffeur Drive director Terry Le Maitre said that Island Coachways also broke these regulations, something Coachways denied.

  • The Environment Department has stated that it did not wish to comment further at this time.
