81.The effect of section 41 is to remove the powers of all local authorities to make quality partnership schemes, quality contracts schemes, and joint ticketing schemes under sections 114, 124 and 135 of the Transport Act 2000 (respectively). Any quality partnership schemes, quality contract schemes or joint ticketing schemes in place in Wales at the time the provision is commenced, will cease to have effect. This repeal reflects the fact that these schemes, if retained, might conflict with the terms of local bus service contracts and local bus service permits.
