Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally made).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulation 2 of these Regulations prescribes additional information to be provided by operators of local bus services to a franchising authority in connection with that authority’s functions under the Transport Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”). That information relates to the fixed and variable costs involved in operating the local services in the franchising authority’s area and to the vehicles used by the operator in providing those local services, including information about the age of those vehicles and about relevant requirements concerning emissions and types of fuel or power.

Regulation 3 of these Regulations prescribes that the information specified in the Schedule is to be provided by operators of local bus services to a local transport authority in England in connection with the preparation by that authority of an enhanced partnership plan or scheme made under the 2000 Act.

Regulation 4 of these Regulations prescribes that the information specified in the Schedule (with a qualification in relation to paragraph 2) is to be provided by operators of local bus services to a local transport authority in England in connection with the review of an enhanced partnership plan or the operation of an enhanced partnership scheme or in connection with determining whether, and if so how, to vary such a plan or scheme.

Regulation 5 of these Regulations applies in cases where there is a proposal to vary an enhanced partnership plan to include another local transport authority. It prescribes that the information specified in the Schedule is to be provided by operators of local bus services to a local transport authority in England in connection with that proposed variation.

Information required under regulations 3, 4 and 5 need only relate to the area of the plan or scheme and cannot be required in relation to a period more than 5 years preceding the date of the request.

A full impact assessment has not been published for these Regulations. However, an assessment has been made of the impact of the Bus Services Act 2017. Copies of that impact assessment may be obtained from the Buses and Taxis Division, Department for Transport, 2/12 Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR or from the Bus Services Act page on gov.uk: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bus-services-bill-impact-assessments.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
