The Local Government Chronicle have published an informative and detailed article about the future of bus franchising across the UK. At the time of writing, Greater Manchester's Bee Network is the only franchised bus service outside of London but - as the article reveals - it won't be for long as Liverpool, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, the West Midlands and the North East all plan to follow suit in the coming years.
The article also gives a good overview of recent changes to the law since the Bus Services Act 2017, which is the legislation the GMCA had to use in order to get the Bee Network up and running.
Much has changed since then, as the article reveals.
