Ms Anne Graham:

This is a non-commercial service, which is operated under the Public Transport Regulation Act. There is a difference between a service that is awarded a contract for bus services that is contracted to the authority. In that case, they cannot reduce services because we have set out the contracted services, namely, the bus stops and the frequency of those services. All changes related to contracted services have to be approved by the authority. There is a difference between commercial services where it is a commercial decision and a tendered service.
