It's been a long time since this was proposed and it appears to have evolved with the times but this is a positive step.

For those interested, the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill has made it to Committee stage in the Commons: https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3910
It can be quite hard to follow at this stage, as it's quite technical in the line-by-line scrutiny, but you can watch the sessions live:
- Tue 24th 09.25 - https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/a36231d8-0580-4cef-a90e-5a137ae08013
- Thu 26th - 11.30 - https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/9145036d-6c75-4f4b-b233-59eaab4f9bab
- Thu 26th - 14.00 - https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/ed770dfa-5679-4a23-a35d-c3086f6e0044

Legislation isn't the most interesting of subjects, but to note that the final stages were complete on 13th. Current version is: https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/62685/documents/7061
All that is left now is Royal Assent, then it becomes law. I'm sure Charlie will sort that out, once he's finished with embarrassing siblings.

Some explanation of what the bill covers here. Interesting to see an early focus on floating bus stops like that awful one in Seaburn.
