Section 19 and Section 22 permit numbers show change in 2024
SHARE

The number of current Section 19 standard permits issued by the Traffic Commissioners (TCs) fell between January 2024 and the same month in 2025, but permit volumes of Section 19 large bus and Section 22 authorisations rose over that period, data published by the TCs has shown.

In mid-January 2024, there were 16,857 TC-issued Section 19 standard permits in circulation via 6,498 applications. As of the first day of this year, those totals were 15,791 and 6,032, respectively.

That represented a decline of 6.3% in the overall number although the following week’s figures showed a slight uptick. Those figures do not include Section 19 standard permits issued by designated bodies other than the TCs.

At the start of 2025, it remained the case that not-for-profit service for educational charities OneBus was the largest single holder of Section 19 standard permits issued by the TCs, with 275. Several other bodies hold over 100.

Many schools and colleges are represented among Section 19 standard permit holders. Groups including teachers’ union NASUWT have called for an end to schools transporting children on their own minibuses when they are driven by teachers.

Section 19 large bus permits can only be issued by TCs. As of 1 January, 513 of those were current via 62 applications, compared to 451 and 59 on 17 January 2024, respectively.

Parties holding Section 19 large bus permits continue to be dominated by local authorities (LAs). The London Borough of Islington has 44 and Renfrewshire Council has 40. Pembrokeshire County Council has 36.

On 1 January there were 984 Section 22 permits current via 300 applications. Mid-January 2024 had those figures at 914 and 297, respectively. Nottinghamshire County Council holds the most at 55, with LAs again prominent among those with higher numbers.

The TCs’ data on Section 19 and Section 22 permit numbers is updated each week and can be found here.

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."
