Talk:Bus deregulation in Great Britain

message: I always thought deregulation took place on 1. September 1986?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it may need checking. (RM21 00:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Deregulation date

message: I see this article as being overly anti-deregulation. The only criticism listed is negative, while the regulated environment within London is praised as a "success" (taking almost as fact that regulation itself leads London buses to be successful). This is clearly one side of a debate, and needs to be balanced out if this article is to be encyclopaedic.
I propose that this article should receive an NPOV tag. Mixsynth 10:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rather late to respond I know, but I think it's worth correcting this nonetheless.  Yes, they did occur where there was a lot of money to be made by bus operators — but this was due to passenger numbers being high, and had nothing to do with subsidies.  In fact, AIUI, if a service is subsidised, and an operator comes along that is willing to operate that route commercially, then the authority is obliged to cease the subsidised service. In other words, bus wars cannot occur where there are subsidies (in these cases, operators merely compete to be awarded the tender for the route), and bus wars actually ONLY took place on commercial routes with no subsidy!

thread_title:  Bias 

message: and  have inserted this text into the article on several occasions now. Apart from being extremely poorly formatted with multiple spelling mistakes and a whole paragraph in capitals, it also reads like original research. The text is phrased to suggest a personal view point is factual with only a very vague source as supporting evidence. This text needs cleaning up, rephrasing and proper sourcing before it can be introduced into the article. Road Wizard (talk) 16:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Good day to you all,
I was just reading up and noticed a dead link leading to the Bus and Coach website (Ref.16)
Normally I go straight into the article and change the link, but just in case it's the wrong one, I'll paste it here:
http://www.busandcoach.com/news/articles/archive/foreign-ownership-on-the-rise/
I think it's the right one though.
