#FirstGroup has welcomed the Government’s plans for rail reform and the creation of Great #British #Railways (GBR), but urges safeguards to protect passengers. In its consultation response, FirstGroup stresses the need for independent regulation, continued private sector involvement, and protection of open access operators like #Lumo and #Hull #Trains. These elements, it argues, are vital to ensure competition, passenger choice, and best value for the taxpayer. The company calls for a strong passenger watchdog, fair access for non-GBR operators, and long-term investment certainty. First Rail MD Steve Montgomery emphasised that reforms must balance customer, commercial, and infrastructure needs to grow the rail sector efficiently and sustainably.

Go-Ahead, in partnership with the Department for #Transport and local authorities, will invest in 45 additional zero-emission buses for operations in #Hull, #Salisbury, #Brighton & #Hove, Isle of Wight, and #Plymouth. This expansion strengthens Go-Ahead's leadership in zero-emission transport, with the largest fleet in the UK, comprising 1,500 electric buses in operation or on order. The company has received government support for 246 of these buses, some of which will be introduced soon. Customers will benefit from quieter, smoother, and more environmentally friendly journeys. CEO Matt Carney expressed pride in Go-Ahead’s commitment to zero-emission transport, while Local Transport Minister Simon Lightwood highlighted the broader benefits of cleaner, greener travel, job creation, and support for local economies. These new buses will contribute to a more sustainable future, with delivery expected by 2027.

The Local #Transport Grant (LTG) for 2025-2026 is a one-year capital grant designed to supplement the Integrated Transport Block (ITB) funding for local transport and maintenance in England. It is allocated to local transport authorities (LTAs) in the North and Midlands, excluding areas that receive City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) funding. The funding is calculated based on a formula, with 70% allocated according to population and 30% based on deprivation levels. The total LTG allocation for 2025-2026 is £226 million. Notable allocations include Greater #Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (£25.35 million), #Lancashire Combined County Authority (£34.95 million), and #Hull and East #Yorkshire Combined Authority (£15.63 million). Other authorities such as #Staffordshire and #Worcestershire will receive £15.63 million and £11.13 million, respectively, supporting local transport improvements across #England.

Nobody wants to be there.
Nobody wants to be standing there, listening to him prattle on with his carefully arranged speeches and fake authenticity.
