    The government is already backing local authorities York and North Yorkshire, Cornwall, Cumbria, Hertfordshire, Cheshire West and Chester as part of the Bus Franchising Pilots

    Would anyone from there like to tell us how it appears to be going, please?

      Im from the north east. None of those places. But they have already been doing schemes after covid of £2 rides from the provinces into the likes of Newcastle.

      That has actually lapsed now but stuff like this gives me hope that they’ll be able take charge and do something like it. There’s also been a spate of bus shelter improvements near me also. Im loving the buses.

      Though the number scratched into the back of the seat on the double decker I was on did not, in fact, lead to a hot fuck as was advertised.
