Some of the stories are heart-rending and some sizeable villages will be left miles from the nearest bus. Our county council (Lancashire) is one of an increasing number to stop funding ALL subsidised routes. Local councils get the blame but it's the government that's at fault. When did George Osborne ever get on a bus?!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502754753792780008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491197068002893936.post-71966022800141660492016-01-31T18:17:57.981+00:002016-01-31T18:17:57.981+00:00It's such a shame that the current Government&...It's such a shame that the current Government's policies are killing off so many rural bus routes. It may not have been a manifesto commitment, but it's been pretty effective so far.<br /><br />At least Jim has time to highlight the routes that remain, but what about the people along each route who may not have access to a car? Those of working age may not be able to find jobs within walking distance, and the retired can be stuck miles away from shops and other facilities. Not good.
