AN OPERATOR WHOSE licence was revoked last year when he lost his repute has been given another chance by the traffic commissioner (TC) after taking steps to address his failings. Victoria Davies, TC for Wales, said she had been persuaded that Glyn James should be granted a standard international operator licence for two HGVs and three trailers after he spent time and money to rebuild trust. James traded as James Express Transport and operated vehicles out of a Bristol depot, before compliance problems led to a licence revocation in August 2020. At a Pontypridd public inquiry (PI) following a new application to run vehicles under the same trading name but out of a Monmouth operating centre, the TC heard evidence from James, proposed transport manager Martin Soper and legal representative Elizabeth Caple. In her written decision, TC Davies said: "Having previously lost repute as an operator, the focus of Mr James' evidence at the inquiry was on the steps that he had taken since then to address those previous failings and rebuild trust.
