** Success! A real boost for buses
------------------------------------------------------------

Hello

Earlier this week, the Government published a National Bus Strategy - something we've long campaigned for.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this campaign successful, whether you took one of the actions on our website, wrote to your MP or made a financial donation - when we work together we can really make things happen!

Millions of us rely on buses, so it's right that there is now a national strategy that acknowledges their importance - as there has long been for rail and roads. And the strategy is really ambitious, containing many of the things we've been calling for:
* Lower, simpler fares
* More bus priority schemes (such as bus lanes) to speed up journeys
* 4,000 new British-built zero emission buses
* A greater role for local authorities, which must produce Bus Service Improvement Plans
* £3 billion to support the delivery of the Strategy

Thanks again for all your support. This is a challenging time for public transport, but if we act together we can help to give it a bright future. (We're planning some actions that we'd love you to get involved with... look out for our emails or follow us on Twitter ([link removed]) or Facebook ([link removed]) to hear about them.)

Goodbye for now

Paul
