So would I. The consultation exercises are becoming more and more vague. Once upon a time everything was available on the website - for everyone to see. Now it appears that consultations are only available in treeware formats, either on the bus or by post. Around 8000 questionnaires were handed out around Low Fell regarding changes to the 1/24/24a, however, judging by some responses on Facebook, it seems that the questionnaires have remained elusive to some passengers. And now it is revealed that further consultations are currently being carried out on selected services yet no information is given to what services might be subjected to future changes. Of course, web-based consultations are open to all sort of abuse so I understand GNE's decision, if that is indeed the reason why, to discontinue this practice. However, I feel that the customers should be made more aware that their bus services are under review and more should be done to draw ones attention to any sort of consultation.
