At the Carbon and Natural Resources Board meeting yesterday it was stated
that a date has been set for implementation of the Qualifying Agreement
– not a Partnership as that was abandoned some time ago. The date
remains a secret – but the bus companies are correctly wanting to be sure that the software really works – it was not a question of their dragging their feet but a genuine failure of the software to do what it should.

The provisional date we had been told for introducing joint ticketing before yesterday’s meeting  was the end of the summer. This is ground-breaking work so the timing is tricky to predict!
