Press Cuttings from Around the Country! - Jimmi - 15 Jan 2023
"I rode Yorkshire's most scenic bus route for £2 but wasn't convinced" https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/best-in-leeds/whats-on-news/rode-yorkshires-most-scenic-bus-25972251?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar
In short, she gets the Scarborough bus instead of the winning route to Whitby and complains about sharing a bus with people and the bus stopping at bus stops?!

Wasn't sure where to put this.
The Gloags have been charged with human trafficing.

You right, public control isn’t always better. However, as we’ve had bus deregulation outside of London since 1986, and considering look how bad buses are in the evening's. Time for a new approach, perhaps like the London model.
