Hence they have blown hot and cold over the years according to the whim of whoever is in power.<br /><br />Now times are hard its not something they have to do and we increasingly see the results as county by county 'consults' on the withdrawal of funding.<br /><br />The announcement of how much deficit reduction still has to be achieved sends a very cold chill warning of a biting cold winter where bus services are concerned.

I'm sure it wouldn't be beyond them to at least make it possible to generate a list of services for each stop.<br />It does say something though when an unofficial website (http://getdown.org.uk/bus/) is better than the official one (times, some maps, claims to detail fares where available). Similarly, DalesBus does a good job in the Yorkshire Dales, including a map (http://www.dalesbus.org/DalesBus_Routes_Summer_2014.pdf) seemingly by NYCC but not published by NYCC. Indeed, WY Metro (https://www.wymetro.com/howtogetto/TheDales/) do a better job of covering the dales than NYCC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
