Probably not - but we all know it was a Jarvis/Fox vanity project, anyway. 1 minute ago, HeHasRisen said: It is for the cohort of people likely to use it, mind. As are all stage-carriage services.

Irene Swaine Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If the 'Connect' bus actually went on to the grounds of the railway station, it might attract more custom. The taxis do a roaring trade in the drop off zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall many people asking why we didn’t have one, so I can understand politicians wanting to introduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can I - but the problems with politicians is that they don't really think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I think the main problem of the Connect bus is that it's about as frequent as Halley's comet. I reckon in all the months its been running I've seen it about four times. Plus it look like a mobility bus used by social services. Also strange, according to The Star story, a number of councillors, including the Lib Dems leader had no idea that the fine was £70?

I would say the main problem with the 'Connect' service is that it is a white elephant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
