Answer: Please see the attached FOI2026 00208 Response Spreadsheet, as requested.

 

Please note, the Service Area have advised: we were unable to answer Q3 and Q4 exactly as requested as our reports don’t pull the number of students on a contract nor the vehicle type.

 

Instead, we have supplied the vehicle size as it can be determined what vehicle/licence type is used, plus the maximum amount of passengers.
