COACH OPERATORS whose vehicles pick up or set-down at London's Waterloo, Victoria and Charing Cross stations should note that facilities at these stations are on British Rail property and are thus only available for coaches carrying parties either departing or arriving by train or attending functions at the Charing Cross Hotel.
Following the 1980 Transport Act, all operators requiring these facilities must seek authorisation from the area manager of the respective stations stating dates, times, the number and size of vehicles and details of the party.
Authority may be granted subject to accommodation being available, but coaches should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before train arrival time or booked departure time from the Charing Cross Hotel and must leave immediately they are empty.
