I don't get this, we used to have a Corporation transport service that served all areas of the borough. Then along came privatisation and Accy decided that it was too expensive to continue to run it. Now they spend our money subsidising the private companies, who, no offence intended mate, run a largely substandard service on knackered buses? And we have, on the one hand, Peter Britcliffe bleating that there are too many buses and on the other, the Government shrieking that we must have more. And this is progress? This is meant to be an example of 'Industry and Prudence' is it? I know what it looks like to me!
