BROUGHT TO YOU BY
BUSES magazine is once again joining forces with sister journal, Modern Railways, organiser of the UK’s highly regarded regional Fourth Friday Club railway conferences to host our second Public Transport focus. This time we turn our attention to the North of England and the regions plans for the bus industry.
Day one, hosted by Modern Railways focusses on rail matters with day two, covering the bus & coach market and the opportunities in the North of England.
Chaired by Roger French, day two opens with Andy Burnham, Manchester’s Metropolitan Mayor, discussing his plans for route franchising in Greater Manchester.
Our guest speakers will discuss a number of topics including policy allowing local authorities to run their own buses and what do bus users want? On the technological front we’ll discuss zero emission, hydrogen and electric developments and technological opportunities.
