Yet another county that used to do such much more in the way of printed material etc.
ReplyDeleteNow all they want to do is cut back the network. The results of a consultation on this are due soon. The plan is/was to remove funding for Sunday and evening services, reduce the frequency on supported urban and rural services.
It is the way bus services are going , constantly cutting the services.
ReplyDeleteVery little thought as well goes into Sunday service the usual approach is to provide a 2 hourly service on a couple of main routes which is really of no use to anyone. They need to look at specific Sunday routes. If people arte using buses the chances are they have not a car so they need to look at taking them into residential areas
