EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 154 of the Transport Act 2000 provides for the Secretary of State to make grants to operators of eligible bus services towards their costs in operating those services. The Bus Service Operators Grant (England) Regulations 2002 (“the Principal Regulations”), as amended, prescribe the classes of eligible bus services.
This instrument amends the Principal Regulations, ending eligibility for coach services over routes of 15 miles or more.
The Department for Transport has produced an Explanatory Memorandum and an Impact Assessment showing the effect this instrument will have on the costs of business and public sector. These documents are available from the Buses and Taxis Division, Department for Transport, Zone 2/14, Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR or on the website www.legislation.gov.uk.
