Title: Better buses for Bristol, Bath and South Gloucs....but no mention of N Somerset! Post by: chuffed on October 10, 2013, 19:59:49 Baroness Kramer announced that these areas were getting ^1.3 million worth of better buses. Seems good value until you discover that Nottingham has been given ^18 million ....and they've already got a tram system that's being extended, plus a completely rebuilt railway station !

Post by: chuffed on October 10, 2013, 20:09:25 A correction ...Nottingham getting ^11 million and Sheffield ^18 million over the next for years for better BUSES ! Why do they need buses, when they both have tram systems Bristol would love to have. And what do we get ? Bust Rabid transit ! (thanks Four Track, Now for the best description of this scheme!)
