The Bus Services Bill could mark a turning point in the story of England’s buses - ending decades of decline and empowering local areas. In this blog, we reflect on the Bill, which had its second reading in the House of Commons yesterday evening. urbantransportgroup.org/blog/2025/06/0…

Huge news for our region. The Metro is coming to Washington. 🚊 We’ve secured £1.85bn transport funding for the North East and it is a game changer. I’m getting on with the job of delivering the world class transport network our region deserves and creating real opportunity.

The Blues are back and so is Birmingham. I've secured billions for transport across the West Midlands. Proud that part of that will be backing (C) Birmingham City FC with investment in the Sports Quarter Metro that will change lives across our city.

Mayor Helen Godwin pledged to work with government and councils to get the West moving. Three-quarters of a billion secured for transport will do just that, as we start a new chapter together: better buses, more trains, and mass transit. Trams and much more are on the table!
