RE: Merseytravel gain London Style Bus Powers
Thanks for the link Tom.

Quote:Ms Eagle, the Garston and Halewood MP and Labour’s transport spokeswoman, said: “It’s time that fares and services were agreed, not with profits, but with passengers in mind.”

My only grinding point with this is that it's the profit which currently goes toward improving services in the long run through new vehicles etc. Under regulation, with profit diminished if this statement is anything to go by, who's going to pick up the bill for new vehicles? Tax payers? I see pro's and con's to this so I'm really undecided as to what my actual opinion of it would be.
