    Trivia: Towns with the most number of bus operators serving it

    That's a good question about how should Traveline handle such services. It certainly includes "book in advance" timetabled services, but completely flexible is somewhat different. As it would be nigh on impossible to predict journey times, perhaps just a note to say that such an alternative is...

    Trivia: Towns with the most number of bus operators serving it

    Click uses PSVs in both locations, and the services are registered, uisng the flexible registration process which basically states an area within which dial-a-ride will operate. The Sittingbourne registration is here...

    Trivia: Towns with the most number of bus operators serving it

    As the Arriva Transport Solutions operations for the NHS are non-psv, it fails to meet the criteria of "bus" in the original query (and yes, I know the Bristol call centre is used to support ArrivaClick).

    Biggest places in the UK without a weekly direct bus/coach service to the relevant national capital?

    Based on this list of populations: https://thegeographist.wordpress.com/2016/04/07/largest-cities-uk-population/ the English winner is probably St Albans (assuming we mean links to central London). Other large towns with no NX service to London include Rayleigh, Eastleigh and Redditch.

    Stagecoach East Scotland

    Having read the notice on the Stagecoach website, it appears the lower price is that for the new U19 version. The adult price looks to remain the same, though the U19 megarider is £3 cheaper than the current 4 week Tayside Zone 2 unirider, which covers the identical area.

    MPs launch inquiry into health of the bus market

    No, responsibilities were shuffled round and the relevant MP is now Nusrat Ghani (full details on the DfT website). Jesse Norman's area of interest still includes 'local roads policy and funding'.

    First to pull out in Clacton area

    To be strictly accurate, Thorington station (as the railway mainly spelt it) closed in November 1957, six years before Beeching.
