Asked by:

Answer
The study is considering the bus market in England outside of London to ensure that the Department understands the state of the bus market and is well placed to respond to emerging thinking in the sector.
The Department is not part of the Tyne and Wear Quality Contract Scheme process as it is a matter for local determination, and the Department is not seeking to influence that process. It is not our intention to publish any new evidence on buses before the election purdah period.
