How many petitions do Arriva need to get slapped with about the 685 before they just cut their losses and scrap it altogether? It actually baffles me why the service is still running when there's a more regular rail service right along the route. Surely money would be better spent providing shuttle buses round the little villages to the nearest station?
We shouldn't be advocating bus routes being cancelled in favour of using trains, buses go closer to many peoples' homes and transferring from bus to train is definitely not popular - remember Tyne & Wear in years gone by.
I don't understand this obsession with seatbelts as if they're fitted people don't wear them.
