| Key findings | The Transport Controllers were asked for their satisfaction with a wide variety of areas of the service. All of these appeared good with the exception of the Area Education Office, with which two respondents said they were dissatisfied. Three schools added comments for their concerns, which were the suitability of escorts and passenger assistants, and communication when there are changes to the service. One respondent had made a complaint about the service. While they were satisfied with the outcome, they considered finding the right person to be difficult. |
