For many, the thought of getting a bus between Britain's cities is the option of last resort and some would say buses have no future in Britain's infrastructure. I'm here on one of the busiest roads in the country for such buses to try and change those minds. The bus industry is going through extraordinary changes and can still play a significant role in the infrastructure of Britain's transport networks. I tell you what's happening and what it means for your travel plans.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email. You can sign up at independent.co.uk/newsletters.
