How far into the future does bus funding extend where you are?

While revenue funding for bus services in England and Wales is welcome, there is still a lack of long-term planning, says Matthew Moll.

UK – The Ongoing Challenge to Solve Rural Transport Problems is Highlighted in Prescient 1983 Video.
TAS has had in its possession a copy of a 1983 East Sussex County Council VHS production entitled Renewing the Links (now uploaded to YouTube), which TAS director John Taylor feels has much to tell us today. John commented that “my desire to put this in the public domain is to deter magical thinking on behalf of firstly the DfT and then LAs in respect of rural transport. There is no magic solution – not Total Transport nor DDRT – to replace the need for financial support to compensate for the inherent costs of rurality. At one point the government committed to the concept of ‘rural proofing’ its policies. I had some communications with the civil servant in the DfT given the thankless task of applying this concept…For me, although I appreciate the nostalgia – the locals watching the village cricket match are priceless – this really should be required viewing for anyone tackling rural transport because to make progress they need to have an answer to the question of why this initiative and several more that followed it up to the DfT’s last Total Transport funding scheme, did not make any headway.” Our thanks to Roger French for uploading this for us. You can view the video here:

A 1983 film commissioned by East Sussex County Council describing the rural transport problem and its solution dubbed ES**RT and County Rider.

We were sorry to hear not long ago of the death of Steve Roach, an early pioneer of community transport at Barnsley Community Transport & Dial-a-Ride, long-term CT sector activist, supporter of many excellent causes and an all-round nice guy. We also think that Steve may have been the first manager of a CT to get the benefit from buying in consultancy assistance! (Our recollection is that he got in excess of a 10 to 1 financial payback) The picture on the website of the Scout Group he led for a long time says it all

Earlier this year, after 37 years of dedicated service, Steve Roach stepped down the role of Group Scout Leader at Pen*stone. Until now, Mark Elliott, one of the Barnsley District Commissioners has…

Matthew Moll’s latest Route1 article ‘hot off the press’

The first round of bus franchising in Greater Manchester has not benefited small operators - and that must change, says Matthew Moll.
