As a result of the measures in the Bill, our Labour South Yorkshire mayor, Oliver Coppard, will be further empowered to take back control of our buses with franchising. Securing the reintroduction of the SL1 tram link bus in my constituency is my top priority as part of that scheme. So, too, are vital improvements to the No. 21 bus serving Penistone, Dodworth and surrounding rural villages, which are some of the worst served by poor bus routes in the country, after a decade and a half of Tory transport inequality.
