Following the withdrawal of the X50 serving Sorn, Coalfield CT in partnership with SPT will be operating a limited service. There will be a Sorn-Catrine bus service commencing this morning which will meet up with the X50 in both directions. @JeaneF1MSP @MrDegsy #WithoutCT

Should private companies be favoured for tax payer funded routes over Community Transport? Pick and choose the profitable routes and leave everyone else isolated. Community Transport needs protected #withoutCT

Why were we refused a section 22 permit with no right of appeal? First in Scotland. DfT NEW interpretation of 30 yr old rules is astonishing 😠🚌 #WithoutCT @Jesse_Norman @HumzaYousaf https://t.co/i0MUknjjt9

.@Jesse_Norman MP says that local authorities "should not be withholding contracts until further clarification is given." #WithoutCT

@LilianGreenwood

[Coalfield Community Transport @CoalfieldCT]

We have been refused a section 22 permit by the Traffic Commissioners office in Scotland to operate a subsidised service route via a competitive tendering process and told there is no appeal process. @Jesse_Norman business as usual? #WithoutCT
