Lancashire Enhanced Partnership Plan and Scheme (HTML) - Appendix B – List of operators of qualifying services and management board classification

The following table show the proportion of the total milage of qualifying services within Lancashire by bus operator. It additionally shows the proportion of milage of 'commercially' operated qualifying services by operator for the purpose of Management Board classification.

For the purposes of the Management Board, commercial refers to services in which are operated commercially or under de-minimis agreement. It does not cover services operated under minimum subsidy and minimum cost contracts, either with LCCA directly or with a neighbouring authority whereby LCCA contributes towards the cost of the contract.

Operators with 5% or more of the 'commercial' qualifying milage are allocated a vote at the Management Board. Operators with less than 5% of the 'commercial' qualifying milage will be represented by the small operator representative.
