Last week we were delighted to host Transport Minister Simon Lightwood at our York depot just days before the Government’s Bus Services Bill received royal assent. The Bill is a bold step towards transforming local transport in England. By giving councils greater control over networks, fares and service standards, and by strengthening requirements around accessibility, safety and environmental performance, the Bill sets a new direction for how buses should serve local communities.
Buses and trains are lifelines that connect people to work, education, healthcare, and their loved ones. But for too many women and girls, their journeys are clouded by fear. Whether that’s fear of harassment, abuse, or violence, it is unacceptable.
The publication of the Women in Transport Equity Index 2025 - the UK’s leading benchmark for gender equity in the transport sector - is an important moment for our industry. It shines a light on the progress we’ve made, but more importantly, it challenges us all to go further and shows there is still much work to be done.
Buses have always been about one thing: opening doors to opportunity. And with each ticket we sell, we’re providing access to opportunity, helping people reach work, education, or everyday activities that connect them to their communities.
Whenever I travel by bus, I find myself observing the people around me. Who are our customers? Why are they travelling? What might this journey unlock for them, and what happens if we let them down?
Due to a burst water mains pipe at Longwood Gate, the service is terminating at Royds Hall Printers.
until further notice.
*UPDATED*
This matter is still ongoing.
