If a road is marked as a bus stop and also marked as a bus clearway (both in yellow), has a shelter with a flag denoting service numbers and there is a sign fixed to a lamp post stating buses only - can a tour operator / holiday coach legally, load / unload passengers & luggage?
A large coach holiday operator has done this several times at a stop I use, regularly blocking service buses from the stand - the coach drivers claim they are legally allowed - is this correct? If so why do National Express and other tour operators bother to use coach stations as road pick ups/set downs would be far cheaper?
