The 6 week limit for notification of withdrawal of routes forthe end of the Covid bus subsidy is tomorrow, so Govt need to announce what, if anything, will replace it until passenger numbers return. Otherwise there will be wholesale notifications going in by this weekend. Hence the meeting

Dear All,

I am pleased to inform you that the Government has today announced a further Covid-19 Bus and Light Rail Support Package to run until October 2022 - see https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/local-transport-update-financial-support-for-bus-and-light-rail-services

We at the Option 24/7 Central Team would like to thank each and every one of you who contacted the key players to press for this outcome. The efforts of you and others like you right across the country are a significant reason why we have this welcome news, and you can all be very proud of the result that has been collectively achieved.

Best Regards
Lee Fletcher
