Columns 1. Control total for EPCS –district level services (£ million). 2. % increase in Column 1from Column 1 in row above. 3. Estimated concession fares content of Column 1 (£ million). 4. Total estimated concession fares in RSG (£ million). Notes (a) Includes £296.9 million for concession fares from GRE in 1989–1990 when last separately identified. (b) Assume that growth in concession fares element same as overall growth, apply Column 2 to Column 3 in row above to estimate this year’s Column 3. (c) Excluding £54 million specifically added to Column 1 for start of half fares scheme, to calculate valid per centage increase in base EPCS to use to derive Column 2. (d) The same £54 million added back to Column 3 to derive Column 4. (e) Based on £6014.7 total for 2001–02 for Column 1. (f) Apply Column 2 in 2002–03 to Column 4 in 2001–02. (g) Excluding £50 million specifically added to Column 1 for men allowed in scheme from 60!, to calculate valid % increase in base EPCS to use to derive Column 2. (h) The same £50 million added back to Column 3 to derive Column 4. (i) Based on £7,065.7 total in 2003–04. (j) Apply Column 2 in 2005–06 to Column 4 in 2003–04. (k) £350 million added specifically for free fares scheme. Author not aware for Column 1 for 2006–07, so £350 million added to Column 4 in 2005–06, so actual value of Column 4 in 2006–07 would be higher. (l) Government claim that they spend £1 billion on concession fares, hence cross checks. APPENDIX 3 DISTRIBUTION TO DEVON TCAS OF CONCESSION FARES ELEMENT OF RSG AND 2006–07 OUT-TURN BUDGETS Appendix 2 quantifies the element of RSG that is there for concession fares. This Appendix estimates the distribution of that element for concession fares to the <strong>Travel</strong> Concession Authorities in Devon. This element is within the EPCS FSS fund <strong>and</strong> is distributed according to the formula used for that part of RSG. This was revised for the addition of the £350 million for free fares. The allocation of the total concession fares money in RSG can be estimated by applying each TCAs % of the £350 million to the £1,014.6 million from Appendix 2. The share of the £350 million for each TCA is taken from Table 2.3 of a September 2005 report to the Devon Concession Partnership supplied to the author by its Chairperson <strong>and</strong> Corporate Director at WDBC Share of £350 million Share of Con Fares Extra for free fares element in RSG Authority/Group £m Share as % £m Plymouth 2.03 0.58 5.88 East Devon 0.65 0.19 1.93 Torbay 1.28 0.37 3.75 Exeter 0.70 0.20 2.03 Mid Devon 0.37 0.11 1.12

Ring Fenced? The element for concession fares is not ring fenced to concession fares. However, if the non-Unitary Authorities lose the function to County Councils or all of the authorities above lose the function to national level (Clause 9 of <strong>Concessionary</strong> Bus <strong>Travel</strong> Bill), they will lose the amounts of RSG shown above. 2006–07 RSG <strong>and</strong> Forecast Out-turn Budgets (Mid-February Forecasts) Authority/Group RSG Out-Turn “Profit” West Devon Borough Council £0.81 million £0.39 million £0.42 million Devon Partnership £14.10 million £8.41 million £5.69 million APPENDIX 4 CONCESSION SCHEMES THAT OFFER FREE OR LOW FLAT FARE ON TRACKED MODES OF LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT Authority Mode Fare Engl<strong>and</strong> London Local rail, Tube, DLR <strong>and</strong> Tram Free West Midl<strong>and</strong>s Local rail <strong>and</strong> Tram Free Greater Manchester Local rail <strong>and</strong> Tram Free South Yorkshire Local rail <strong>and</strong> Tram Free Merseyside Local rail Free Tyne & Wear Local rail 50p flat fare Metro Free with £8 “Gold Card” West Yorkshire Local rail 35p flat fare Nottingham City Tram Free Nottinghamshire County Tram Free but half fare 1600–1800 Blackpool Tram Free Milton Keynes Local rail 35p flat fare Isle of Wight Local rail Free Scotl<strong>and</strong> Strathclyde Local rail <strong>and</strong> Glasgow Tube 40p flat fare Edinburgh Local rail 50p flat fare Northern Irel<strong>and</strong> Whole of province Local rail Free Wales 110 people living in the Dolwyddelan area can use their bus pass on the Conwy Valley Line, as, until recently, they had no daytime bus service.
