    Thoughtful article in The Guardian,earlier this week,on how the Conservative's approach to Publicly Funded Bus Services is working out....or not ?

    I've recently spent a week in and around the Somerset area,and the local pub-chat there would appear to support John Harris's opinion....

    One interviewee's statement did strike a chord...
    Political theatre also takes some of the blame: as the CBT’s Martin Abrams puts it: “With transport policy, politicians like to mooch about in hard hats and hi-vis jackets. You can’t really do that on a bus.”

    I wonder if the NTA take The Guardian.....?


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    Charles Mackay (1812-1889)
