“ The Government must ensure that those who seek to run a deregulated bus service in London undertake that the red bus will continue to be part of London’s traffic scene. If that opportunity is lost, it will have gone for ever, and enormous annoyance will be caused to Londoners and others. ”
Tom Cox MP in the House of Commons, 9 Jul 1993. In the end, deregulation for London buses was amended to being privatisation within a regulated framework (partly because of the Travelcard) and London buses are still red.
