The UK Parliament's Transport Committee plans to inquire into the funding of English bus services outside London after the Comprehensive Spending Review.  It wants evidence on the effects of the cut in the Bus Service Operators' Grant and the cut in local authority cash for bus services.  It also wants to know more about the implications of free off-peak travel for the elderly and disabled on local English buses.  If you have views on these and the use of passenger feedback in planning bus services and on the role of Passenger Focus, it would like to hear from you, in writing by Tuesday 4 January 2011.
