I am writing to you to make a request for information under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 legislation.

I am doing some research and gathering data regarding ENCTS (English National Concessionary Travel Scheme) bus passes. I understand that your council pays out reimbursement to bus operators every time an ENCTS bus pass holder boards a bus within the boundaries of your council area.

1. For each of the following fourteen financial years below i wish to know the total amount of money that you have paid to each bus operator in ENCTS reimbursements broken down by bus operator.
• 2008/2009
• 2009/2010
• 2010/2011
• 2011/2012
• 2012/2013
• 2013/2014
• 2014/2015
• 2015/2016
• 2016/2017
• 2017/2018
• 2018/2019
• 2019/2020
• 2020/2021
• 2021/2022

The ENCTS started on 01/04/2008 so these years should give me the data going back to when it first started.
So like for example in 2021/2022 you gave Arriva Bus £123,456.78 and gave First Bus £234,567.89 and gave Stagecoach Bus £345,678.90 and so on for each bus operator and then in 2020/2021 you gave Arriva Bus £456,789.01 and gave First Bus £567,890.12 and gave Stagecoach Bus £678,901.23 and so on for each bus operator and then so on for each of the fourteen financial years.

Note that those bus operators mentioned above are just random examples just to show what I am asking for and they might not necessarily operate within your council area. Those figures are of course just random examples too as I do not know what the figures are.
