Campaigners continue battle for publicly owned Strathclyde buses

TRANSPORT campaigners rallied in Glasgow today to demand buses across the Strathclyde region are taken into full public ownership.

They rallied outside SPT headquarters to celebrate their latest win as transport chiefs refused to back plans for a partnership with the private sector on bus routes.
