@DJ - so true, i know i winge a lot on this site, but mainly about how poorly our services and infrastructure are managed, but what a beautiful part of the country to live in. to a certain degree the lack of investment and building has allowed us to keep what a lot of the country has lost through urbinisation. Over the past 30 years I have moved home as the area I lived in, once a tranquil ...
The key to running a sucessful public bus service on a semi rural service such as the hop 2 route has to be flexibility.

They do look lovely when it's dark.
I expect they look lovely when it's dark. Not a lot of trees over the shops in The Strand.
I don't know that percentages come into it - surely it is more a question of whether or not the numbers make the provision of a service viable or not. But even if the % were to be small, if that % has no recourse to private transport then the only option open to them is public transport. So what happens if that public service is removed/cut back? It is noticeable to me how many elderly women ...
