Title: New funding opportunity for local bus / rail? Post by: grahame on January 17, 2015, 08:49:04 http://www.witneygazette.co.uk/news/11731774._/?
Quote A ^4M CASH pot set aside for transport in rural areas could help fund bus hubs and local rail networks. The Department for Transport announced creation of the fund earlier this week to be used to ^pilot new and better ways of delivering joined-up local transport in rural and isolated areas^. Oxfordshire County Council board member for transport David Nimmo Smith said the local authority was looking at bidding for some of the cash. I wonder if Wiltshire Council is bidding for this ... possibility of ongoing funding for the Melksham Rail Link bus should the three things that the bus is "stop gap" for fail to be completed by the end of LSTF grant times.
