THE NORFOLK trial area hai gone off like a damp squib, th( Government has conceded.
Hardly any changes have beer made in bus services since th( trial area was set up last April Government spokesman the Ear of Avon told the House of Lords.
No bus operators new to stag( carriage had set up business ir the area, he said. The existinc pattern of bus provision by pub lic sector and private operator: had remained broadly steady.
There had been a number o minor changes in services, witl one new service started an withdrawn after a trial perio( and two services instituted to re place those withdrawn by othe operators.
He added that this had beei achieved without recourse tr bureaucracy.
