Ministers will pledge an extra 4,000 zero emission buses , equivalent to 10 % of the UK ’ s existing fleet , following on from £170m announced last week for more electric buses .
The Mirror understands that ministers will support bus franchising in cities , like Manchester @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .

Boris Johnson is set to announce plans to introduce thousands more buses, more frequent journeys and cheaper travel in UK cities, including Manchester and Liverpool
Bus passengers across the country will on Tuesday be promised simpler fares, thousands of new buses, improved routes and more frequent journeys.

The package will mean around £800m extra a year for routes in towns and cities, taking the annual total to around £1.2bn.
However, the Tories have already cut £645m a year from bus budgets- leading to thousands of routes being axed and fares soaring. Full details of the new spending plans are expected later this year.
The plan means more regular services, including in evenings and on Sundays, to make it easier for people to get around at any time of day.

thedailymirror--2020-02-10--Paul Routledge: Slippery Tories have no defence for river disaster

The Tories promised to “ level up ” our hard-hit communities in the North .
The only level that went up was the level of the floods devastating towns and villages yet again .
While Boris Johnson plays Cabinet reshuffle games , the Calder hit record heights , drowning homes and businesses .
After the catastrophic inundation of Boxing Day 2015 , David Cameron and George Osborne ( remember them ? )
vowed to “ spend even more ” to save threatened towns and villages .
They came and went , and so did the money .
First it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and then people stopped asking .
Work on flood defences was slow to start , lagged interminably and when the rains came back this week , they were unfinished and unable to cope .
The only difference between today and five years ago is the name of the storm : for Desmond , read Ciara .
No wonder the folk of Mytholmroyd , Luddendenfoot , Hebden Bridge , Huddersfield and Todmorden are shaking their fists in anger – in between bailing out the dirty river deluge .
They were let down again by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that flowed into the Tory party found no tributary into the flood-hit Calder Valley .
I share their wrath .
I was out with sandbags at 5.30am on Sunday when flood water lapped my door .
Only hundreds of yards away in Sutton-in-Craven , cars were submerged .
The Aire Valley where I live is one long lake stretching for miles , with the railway snaking through on raised embankments .
But the line is flooded further down , service is suspended .
The river has broken its banks and is indistinguishable from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people down-river in Leeds , where the city centre went under water last time .
Craig Whittaker , Tory MP for Calder Valley , bleats : “ The clean-up operation will be a major one.
” You don ’ t say .
But what do they care ?
They cleaned up the votes , and that ’ s all that bothers them .
Don ’ t bring your fake sympathy up ‘ ere , Boris , or you ’ ll get the Fishlake treatment again .

A lawyer claims British Airways ruined his family 's £15,000 first-class trip after staff took over five hours to fit a baby seat .
Antonio Michaelides flew from London to Dubai with his wife Sonia and baby daughter for a trip that combined work with a family holiday .

Buddy Murphy is riding the biggest wave of his WWE career to date since joining forces with Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain .
That 's saying something for a man who lifted the company 's Cruiserweight Championship before 70,000 of his hometown fans in Melbourne , Australia , less than two years ago .
After teaming with Rollins last month , the 31-year-old became a Raw Tag Team Champion with a surprise win over formidable duo The Viking Raiders .
It marked another massive high point for the star , who beforehand had suffered three straight losses during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Black .
For Murphy , finding a solid position in WWE has been a long and winding road , but he 's stayed on course .
His ability to knuckle down and focus on the prize is what brought him his first burst of success in the 205 Live division , showing impressive commitment by dropping 30lbs to make the weight .

EXCLUSIVE: Now an integral part of Raw, the tag team champ reveals why pro wrestling is real to him and the role Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman have had in his career
Exclusive: Buddy Murphy on what he doesn't ever want to hear from WWE chief Vince McMahon
Buddy Murphy is riding the biggest wave of his WWE career to date since joining forces with Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain.
That's saying something for a man who lifted the company's Cruiserweight Championship before 70,000 of his hometown fans in Melbourne, Australia, less than two years ago.
After teaming with Rollins last month, the 31-year-old became a Raw Tag Team Champion with a surprise win over formidable duo The Viking Raiders.
It marked another massive high point for the star, who beforehand had suffered three straight losses during a series of scintillating matches with Aleister Black.

Monmouthshire Council is paying for home tuition for Imogen for three hours, four days a week.
A Monmouthshire County Council spokesman said toilets were provided according to Welsh Government design guidance.
"Pupils' needs are assessed on an individual basis and further adaptations to toilets in disabled facilities are made if necessary," he said.
The spokesman added that an independent mediator was used to try and resolve the situation which led to Mrs Ashwell-Rice withdrawing her complaint to the Disability Discrimination Tribunal.
Disability Wales chief executive Rhian Davies said: "Despite 25 years of equality legislation, we're still not getting it right in Wales
"We're still a long way off a fully inclusive education system."
