False signature alleged on TM form

After hearing allegations that the signature on a TM1form was not that of the proposed Transport Manager (TM), Traffic Commissioner (TC) Simon Evans adjourned a public inquiry to enable Wendy Pringle; a Director of Warrington based Tansey Coaches to attend.

Tansey Coaches, of Melford Court, Hardwick Grange, Woolston, Warrington, with a 10-vehicle international licence, had been called before the TC at a Golborne public inquiry. 

The company was seeking to reduce the authorisation on its licence to four vehicles, to move its operating centre from Manchester Road to Bridge Road and to add Barry Bennett as a nominated TM.

Questioned by the TC about a TM1 form submitted in his name on 13 December, which was signed by Mrs Pringle, Guy Morgan said that the signature purported to be his on the form was not his. 

He maintained that he had never signed any paperwork to become a TM for Tansey Coaches.  He said he had originally had discussions in April or May when he was approached by David Bennett to become TM. 

At David Bennett’s request he e-mailed his CPC to him. Subsequently they could not agree on the hours to be worked of what he was to be paid. He had known Barry Bennett for about 20 years. 

Barry Bennett didn’t want to sort out the money side, saying that he just wanted him for an hour here and an hour there. As a result he just got fed up with it. His understanding was that Barry Bennett was running the business at one point. He did not recognise any of the writing on the TM1 form as his. He had never worked as a TM for Tanseys. He had driven coaches for them on occasions in the past. Darren Bennett had admitted to him that he had signed his name. He thought they were trying to save the business and did not realise the implications of what they had done.  His signature was nothing like the signatures on the documents submitted.

Shown another TM1 form dated 4 April, Mr Morgan said that the signature on that was not his either. He denied there was any bad blood between him and Tanseys.

Adjourning the proceedings, the TC said that he had been informed that Mrs Pringle was currently medically unfit to attend. He had agreed to a request that the hearing be adjourned because he felt that because of the potential risk to the company it was necessary for her to attend.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
