In Aug this year, for 1 month, the Govt made bus journeys free for children in England. Now, new figures show that the scheme enabled more than 14 million free child journeys. One bus service in the North East had 710% more child passengers than last summer. Our reaction 👇

A truly inspiring day at our #TimeforTrams event in Coventry. At times it was standing room only, as we heard from a stellar lineup of Mayors, MPs and industry leaders, councillors and campaigners, about the extraordinary potential of trams and light rail.
