It's very concerning that there is nothing in the Bus Services Bill re services to isolated villages. As it stands, I suspect many villages would remain without a service. Even the clause below is omitted from the latest version. A firm commitment to rural services is needed.

The government is bringing rail franchises into public ownership after 30 years of failed privatisation But to make this a success they also need to 🚄set up Great British Trains to end the rolling stock rip off 🚄stop wasteful competition 🚄create a national railcard to cut

Rachel Reeves talking about investing in rail But why don't we own our own trains? Why is the government letting the private rolling stock rip off continue? Set up Great British Trains, directly commission PUBLICLY OWNED trains

Coach firm to pay thousands to accessible transport activist after driver lied that he threatened violence Doug Paulley @TyrersCoaches disabilitynewsservice.com/coach-firm-to-…

It is extremely common practice to defend against discrimination complaints by saying the complainant was aggressive or threatening. Complaining about discrimination isn't violent. Denying it is.

It's great that the government is bringing rail franchises into public ownership But we also need 🚄publicly owned trains, no profits leaking out 🚄democratic passenger watchdog 🚄⬇️ fares e.g. 1/3 off with national railcard 🚄investment like Switzerland bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Important to note that Doug Paulley represented himself in this libel case - winning in open court without a solicitor or even cost protection. It is a warning to the whole industry on the toxic culture around transport accessibility NORTHERN 🚆 Tyrers Coaches

Greater Anglia comes into public ownership today🎊🎉 Passengers are one step closer to a railway that is run in their interest, not the interest of shareholders from around the world. There is more work to be done to get rid of private interests from our railway - the train
