- Drivers being reported to their operators
- Driver and vehicle not being permitted access to Victoria Coach Station

TfL stress that coaches are most welcome in London; however, because of the nature of the road network and the demands on kerbside space, some element of pre-planning before you bring a coach into London is essential.
