Until a decision is made and enacted to re-regulate and franchise said services, I'm sure Andy Burnham has very little influence on the matter.

Exactly, how long has Andy Burnham been threatening quality contracts and how far has he got with the process??
Not really someone that makes things happen quickly, all hot air thus far, the long term uncertainty for operators has seen investment in new buses fall off a cliff.
