"I wonder what would be the threshold for worth reporting", I have several times thought as I've gone along "that's awful I should report that" and then done nothing, but this was particularly bad.<br /> I'm not sure if I'll hear what action is taken; if I do and say, they find the bus was dangerous with it's fumes, then I may do so again. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10827#post-120247 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:23:07 +0000 i 120247@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Given that any exhaust fumes are bad, I wonder what would be the threshold for worth reporting. Fumes don't really show up well on my video camera even if my eyes can see.</p> <p>I do notice that Glasgow buses are worse that Edinburgh - older fleet. Sometimes if I have the chance I'll stop and say to the driver how bad the fumes are, I don't know what they do about it though... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10827#post-120225 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:52:45 +0000 cc 120225@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spokes used to publicise the "Smoky vehicles hotline: 0870.606.0440" in its bulletins. (I found that in Bulletin 89 from 2004.) However it's not in the most recent bulletin so maybe the hotline has been discontinued? However a <a href="https://startpage.com/do/search?cmd=process_search&amp;query=Smoky+Vehicles+Hotline&amp;language=english&amp;pl=&amp;with_date=&amp;ff=&amp;with_region=countryUK&amp;abp=1">web search</a> uncovers some encouraging possibilities including <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smoky-vehicle-reporting-form">this VOSA form</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10827#post-120217 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:35:54 +0000 kaputnik 120217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>VOSA?

Does anybody know who I should report it to? </p>
