It should be a case of use them or lose them , so the councils can use that money where there is a need to be had.

I think it's more a case of not wanting to upset the big ops that run them. Incidentally I'm not having a swipe at Stagecoach, as most of the eveving council runs in Ashton are run by First.

It's great for people on the A6 that are served by the 192 with fancy new buses and free wifi but in the suberbs as Dentonian has rightly said people are disalusioned by bus services and the people running them. Letting politians get involved would be even worse.
