Mr. David Conway:

The short answer is "No". We have requested that the guidelines be reviewed. The eight weeks is a guideline for the time in which to make a decision. As I say, in reality it can be up to eight months but the specific details on that is a question for the transport authority. We are suggesting that various aspects of that licensing process could be streamlined and there is no reason why they cannot be. Bus stop approvals are one such example, as is the requirement to provide high levels of documentation, which are all available and already there in the public domain. This seems like an unnecessary doubling up for the sake of bureaucracy.
