Managed to pick up a leaflet off a Sharston bus this morning - no leaflets on either of he HE buses I travelled on, but at least one had the poster fitted.

Maybe its because of the inertia as regarding "Bus Reform" - not least through outside factors *Brexit; the Failways and "CleanAir", all of which can be blamed largely on Westminster/Whitehall - I'm still trying to second guess, Stagecoach's timing and motivation. I guess with Single fares "mostly" not involved, they have decided that the less contentious period fares for full time/pay commuters, can be increased "quietly" whilst everybody continues the annual Autumn/Winter debate over Rail Fare increases by (shock, horror) the inflation rate. It might make page 21 of the MEN one day next week, but I don't think BBC NW or Granada Reports are going to mention it.

The only other thing in the mix - and this would give a clue as to what is going on "behind closed doors" - is where is the 2019/20 GBF bid process up to regarding the 105 e-buses?
