    TfL possible long term funding settlement @ June Spending Review

    Agree, but the problem can also be solved by increased/extended congestion charge, workplace parking levies, road user charging and similar measures. These not only change the balance of costs between private and public transport, but provide a revenue stream to invest in public transport etc.

    Hot Weather TOC Uniforms

    I believe to be tax exempt it should carry at the very least a small tag with company logo or name.

    Oldest electric buses in service UK

    Stagecoach East Midlands

    It‘s a private members bill. Only becomes a ‘law change’ if it‘s passed. It won’t be. There is no money.

    Life expectancy of Chinese vs British-built buses & coaches

    i believe the NCT ones have cantilever seats - easier cleaning and no poles to go rusty where they meet the floor.

    Stagecoach Yorkshire and Chesterfield

    And it is also true to say that in some cases the sign displayed - whether for weight, width, or other restrictions, doesn’t actually reflect the traffic order which gives it the legal weight. So I have come across signs where the generic version is displayed, but actually buses are exempted. If...
