Registration of local bus services - for operators
On 1st August 2021 Hertfordshire County Council became the Bus Service Registration Authority for Hertfordshire, under the terms of the Intalink Enhanced Partnership using powers granted by the Bus Services Act 2017. The Council now regulates applications to register, vary or cancel local bus services that operate wholly within the county of Hertfordshire. For other services which operate cross-border (except those into London), the Office of the Traffic Commissioner remains the registration authority.
Please see our Guidance for operators document on the processes and procedures that will apply from 1st August.
The Hertfordshire versions of the forms to be used for applying to register, vary or cancel a bus service are available from the links below. These are PDF files which can be downloaded, printed, completed and returned. Alternatively as the fields in the forms are editable, they can be downloaded, saved, completed, re-saved and then returned by email to [email protected]
