The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) is the independent safety regulator for Britain's railways. ORR has published a Health and Safety at Work Act Enforcement Policy Statement, which may be found at: http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/hswa- enforcement-policy-statement-020810.pdf. The number of passengers that can be carried in public service vehicles is set out in the Public Service Vehicles (Carrying Capacity) Regulations 1984, which have been in force since 1984. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) has responsibility to take any appropriate action under these regulations following investigation of any alleged infringement.
