Once-in-a-generation changes are coming to the UK bus industry with the introduction of franchising and the new Bus Services Bill. Beate recently hosted a webinar exploring the transformative effect that this could have on UK bus networks outside cities titled Redesigning Rural Bus Networks - Can Franchising Work in Rural Areas?

Speakers included Jonathan Bray, adviser to the Welsh Government on bus reform, Stephen Joseph, professor at the Smart Mobility Unit of the University of Hertfordshire, and James West, Northern Europe Business Development at Padam Mobility. The webinar was kindly organised by Landor Links and can be watched on YouTube here (Use this link if you can’t see the embedded video).
