  1. I just feel it's worth congratulating #bristol council and #firstbus #firstgroup for managing to set the car park and bus fares at that precise point where it’s still cheaper for me to drive and park (not to mention massively more convenient) to get my family into town rather than getting the bus, which is presumably what they set out to do. Nice one.

  3. #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.
