Title: Buses in West of England Post by: Red Squirrel on February 21, 2023, 18:09:28 Lead item on Points West, 20th Feb 2023 discusses the state of bus services in the near to medium term. All a bit depressing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001jh2t/points-west-evening-news-20022023
Also, as referred to elsewhere (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=26264.15), metro Mayor Dan Norris gave a one-word answer to the question 'Will Bristol get an Underground': 'No'.

Which is the first I've heard of WECA's own scheme. Nice if it's correct.

Title: Re: Buses in West of England Post by: Bmblbzzz on March 05, 2023, 16:34:26 I saw a poster yesterday saying the new £2 single and £3.50 return fares are "supported by West of England metro mayor Dan Norris", which appears to confirm this. Though of course there are lots of ways of supporting something.
It also makes it clear the £3.50 is a return fare, not any sort of day capping, as I believe they have in some places eg London.
