Title: Bus deregulation - on this day 26th October 1986 Post by: grahame on October 26, 2024, 06:00:56 From WikiPedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_deregulation_in_Great_Britain)
Quote Bus deregulation in Great Britain involved the abolition of Road Service Licensing for bus services outside of Greater London. It began in 1980 with long-distance bus services and was extended to local bus services in 1986 under the Transport Act 1985. The abolition of Road Service Licensing removed the public sector's role in fare-setting, routes, and bus frequencies and returned those powers to bus operators.
