If the gent insists on walking instead of using the bus, why is the author surprised the bus service is under review?
I might have missed it, but I can't see the information in there that talks about where he does his shopping or how he uses the 'express' type store in the village.
I did see the comment about the three hourly service being busy (obviously that's just one person's view). I also saw how it's the amongst the lowest recipients of subsidies in the area.
We are well aware of how operators suddenly find that previously subsidised services are viable when a competitor wins a contract.
I wonder if this service would fall in to this category?
