We have responded to the Welsh Governments consultation on the Bus Services (Wales) Act 2026: proposals for regulations on local bus services contracts, the application of TUPE regulations and the provision of information and data.

Every local transport authority in England must publish its first Bus Network Accessibility Plan by 1 April 2027. The plan has to assess how well the whole bus journey works for disabled people, rate each part of the network from 0 to 5, and commit to dated improvements. DfT published its guidance on 28 August 2026, which leaves authorities about six months to co-design, assess and publish. This briefing note sets out what the duty asks for and what it means in practice.

We have responded to the Department for Transport consultation on the Bus Services Act 2025 – improving information about local services.
