That seems to be a daft situation. It might have been understandable at the beginning but that we are paying more now and ending up with something less stable is crazy.

One of the criticisms that some of the PSO operators have is that they find the arrangements between themselves and the NTA has put them in a position where they struggle to plan for more than the given year. Why is that the case regarding certainty as to their income or investment in bus fleet and so on? Is Ms Graham saying that the NTA will be the agency that will buy the bus fleet in the future for the area that it covers?
