We continue to drive forward our work on coaches, and deliver our regional coach strategy, which identifies future priorities for improving coach services and supporting infrastructure. We recently carried out a coach parking survey, which involved visiting numerous coach stops, stations, drop-off locations and facilities across the region. Interviews were also carried out with coach operators, drivers and passengers.
