Yed. I'll look up the legislation in the next couple of days. It was all brought in with the Sports Grounds Act. Ignore the PSV stuff for now, it's all about travelling to 'designated sports grounds,' which are invariably Premier League Football grounds.

If i'm wrong i would love to know the legislation, i actually have a PCV license and would be very interested if i'm wrong.

Is it fully booked yet?

Re: coach to catalan : Mon Apr 18, 2011 6:51 pm  

The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act of 1985 is where the legislation comes from. It talks about a ban on alcohol on coaches travelling to 'designated football matches.' RL matches are not designated. It also gives the police the power to stop and search coaches, seize any alcohol they find, and turn the vehicles back. Of course, coach firms can also implement their own 'no booze' rules, but I can only think that a privately rented coach is not classed as a PSV as otherwise there would have been no need to bring this legislation in.

Not by coach, stop offs, coach limited speed at 62mph

Straight run with no snags alone, at full available speed, is 16 and a half hours.

Yes, forgot about stops and coach speed limits. 16 and a half still is alright..ish.
