Abstract

Across the North of England a quiet revolution is underway – one which will help to tackle poverty, inequality and social isolation, whilst also addressing the urgent need to reduce emissions from transport (the most polluting sector of the UK’s economy) and reinvigorating local economies.

Regional bus networks, which have been deregulated and privatised since the 1980s, are slowly but surely being brought back into public control. Transport authorities will once again be able to plan and coordinate services to meet communities’ needs and to integrate seamlessly with other transport modes.
