Think it's ulikely London Buses would be privatised just as other UK cities push for London style franchises.

No I doubt they will be.
Ups and downs to both sides.

Continuing on from the discussion in the Abellio thread. Thanks to WH241 for suggesting a new thread. I do not understand the meaning of this thread at all. Buses in London are privitised. The last buses we had run by the government finished with the 11 subsidaries in 1994. We did have a brief reprise with East Thames Buses from around 2002 for around 7 years; since that nothing. Or do you mean should buses in London be bought back by the government. i.e Nationalised. |

For those who are intersted and confused, I suggest reading pages 1054 to 1057 of the Abellio thread where the conversation started.

I think he means deregulated. I've changed it To be honest think the title is still wrong as their are plenty of different TfL bus contractual models that 'could' work that full short of deregulation. "The Future of the TfL Bus Contractual Model discussion' would be a better title in my eyes. |
