I don't think this is their fault—rather, due to MK’s unusual geography and a regulatory/subsidy system that produces perverse incentives. The role of government has been to give fixed-contract subsidy for particular services. This: (i) stifles enterprise/innovation by the operator; (ii) makes the operator rely on fixed subsidy income, minimizing incentive to attract custom; and (iii) is unresponsive to changing needs and involves government officers in decision-making, often remote from customers and taxpayers. Some possible solutions: (a) A “2 tier” service with a few primary/trunk routes using full size buses largely on grid roads, supplemented by secondary routes using smaller vehicles (to maintain decent frequencies) through the estates—these may need higher fares than primary routes due to higher costs. (b) Some smaller vehicles could provide extra bus service during peaks and be utilized for cab-hire in off-peaks. (c) Subsidies to be performance-related (eg related to amount of custom attracted) rather than fixed amount/fixed contract. (d) Replace stage fares with a simple (3?) zonal system. November 2010 Written evidence from the Civil Service Pensioners’ Alliance (BUS 02) Inquiry into Bus Services After the Spending Review 1. Background 1.1 The Civil Service Pensioners’ Alliance (CSPA) is recognised by the Cabinet Office as the body that represents retired civil servants. From the approximate 500,000 civil service pensioners the Alliance has an active membership of over 61,000 which are organised into 100 local Groups in England and Wales and, separate Branches covering Scotland and Northern Ireland. 1.2 The Alliance has been fully involved over the last few years both as an independent organisation and through our affiliations with organisations such as the National Pensioners’ Convention (NPC) in campaigning for the provision of concessionary travel for pensioners and older people including the Free Bus Pass. 2. Change in the level of administration of the Concessionary Bus Pass Scheme For Disabled and Older People 2.1 Following the consultation exercise conducted by the Department for Transport in 2009 we made a submission calling for the administration of the concessionary bus travel scheme to be undertaken by the upper level of local authorities as exampled by the County Council rather than at the District Council Level. However we also made the point that any such change should not result in existing additional benefits, such as wider operating times for access to bus services sponsored by individual local authorities, should be detrimentally affected as a direct consequence of the change in the level of administration, a point taken on board by the Department for Transport in their response to the consultation exercise.

  • The North York Moors Re-Visited
    The Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS Key words: physical environment; agricultural land use; rural settlement; services; tourism; transport; urban settlement. Thirty or so years ago, I wrote an essay about The North York Moors for the BBC Domesday Survey (Silson 1986). This new essay examines the extent to which changes have occurred since then. Shortly after the first article was published in1986, I was interested enough to do further field work on the area so some information used here is for 1985 and some for 1986. Likewise contemporary fieldwork was undertaken in both 2015 and 2016. The area allocated to me in 1985 excluded the eastern part of the region administered by The North York Moors National Park Authority, hereafter: NYMNPA, but included some peripheral areas administered by Hambleton and Ryedale District Councils. The same area is discussed in this essay, and the extent of the area is delimited in Figure 1. This essay is illustrated by plates located near the end. Figure 1 Morpholgical features of The North York Moors Physical Environment The North York Moors is a tectonically relatively stable inland area (Goudie 1990). Hence its morphology has scarcely had time to change in a mere thirty years. An example of a very small change has been the making of a small pond about two km to the east of Thirsk. But the major morphological contrasts continue to be controlled by lithological contrasts in underlying rocks (Straw and Clayton 1979).
