Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many cessations of bus services his Department or Traffic Commissioners were notified of in 2017-18; and where in the UK those cessations have been.

The number of cancelled bus services in 2017-18 in Great Britain (outside of London), by region, registered with the Traffic Commissioners, can be found in the Traffic Commissioners annual report 2017/18 - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/768769/201718_TC_annual_report.pdf

The figures relate only to the local bus service registered with a Traffic Commissioner in Great Britain. They do not include those services registered with Transport for London or those in Northern Ireland.
