Carriage of passengers to designated Sporting Events Voluntary Guidelines -England and WalesFor some years the coach industry has complied with a voluntary code of practice wherebyoperators taking passengers to a designated sporting event meet certain guidelines set bythe police. This has worked very well, and it has seldom been necessary for a TrafficCommissioner to take any further action against an operator who has contravened theguidelines. Nevertheless the police in England and Wales are concerned that footballhooliganism is again on the increase, and have asked the Commissioners to remind PSVoperators of the guidelines. This has been done in conjunction with the Confederation ofPassenger Transport (CPT).Carriage of passengers to designated Sporting Events Voluntary Guidelines -England and WalesPSV operators are reminded of the terms of Section 1 (1) of the Sporting Events (Controlof Alcohol) Act 1985, as amended by the Public Order Act 1986, which prohibits thecarriage of alcohol on a PSV that is being used for the principal purpose of carryingpassengers for the whole or part of a journey to or from a designated sporting event.A “designated sporting event” generally means any association football match, whethernational or international. The full legal definition of “designated sporting events” may befound in The Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation Order) 1985, as amendedby SI 1520/1987.It is an offence for an operator of a PSV (or his servant or agent) knowingly to cause orpermit the carriage of alcohol on journeys to which these Regulations apply.In addition to these statutory provisions, the police have asked that operators comply withthe following guidelines when conveying passengers to such sporting events:a. Coach operators taking bookings from groups of supporters are to notify the policeliaison officer at the destination, at least 48 hours before the event, of the number ofsupporters expected to travel and the number of coaches booked.b. Coaches are not to stop within 10 miles of the venue either en route to or on departurefrom the event unless prior agreement is obtained from the local police liaison officer.c. Unless directed otherwise by a police officer, coaches may stop at premises whereintoxicating liquor is sold only if it is sold ancillary to a substantial meal. Prior agreementfor meal stops where alcohol is available should be sought from the operator’s local policeliaison officer.d. Coaches are to arrive at the venue no earlier than two hours before and not later thanone hour before the scheduled start of the game, unless otherwise directed by police.e. Coaches are not to set down or uplift passengers at any unauthorised locations withoutprior permission of the police.f. Coaches must leave the venue within one hour of the finish of the event.g. Intoxicating liquor must not be carried on coaches travelling to or from designatedgrounds. Operators will draw hirers’ attention to the requirements of the law, and driversshall, as far as reasonably practical, supervise boarding passengers and check that theyare not obviously carrying intoxicating alcohol. Drivers will not be expected to carry outbaggage or body searches, nor will they be expected to confiscate alcohol or to removepassengers without police assistance.23

Operators are asked to comply with these guidelines on a voluntary basis. However if thepolice inform the Traffic Commissioner of any failure on an operator’s part to comply withthem the Commissioner will consider applying them as a formal condition to thatoperator’s licence under the authority of Section 16(3) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act1981.”24
