Fastrack - Challenges
Bus legislation and competition issues
TfL cross boundary issues
Impact on KT bus network
Widening gap between phase 1 and what follows
Revenue support - lack of!
Sticking to PTOD - avoiding ‘watering-down’
Minimal delivery team
TM
Fastrack - What’s Different ?
Not demand led - needed to facilitate development
Not guided, keeping options open
It’s a network rather than a linear scheme
Vehicles supplied by county council
Public/Private Delivery Executive
Initially public project - longer term will move to private led concession
