Somewhere big enough for the driver to sit?

They are taking the p1ss, but they might get away with it. Just make lots of noise and you may make some progress. They are required to have a complaints procedure, so make a formal complaint and follow the procedure. Try and hook into one named individual to deal with your claim and talk to...
