“How can a poor service be reduced any more? It’s a disgrace. Diggle would have one bus an hour.”

“These reductions defy common sense; they will put more cars on the road hunting for parking spaces. Even more hurtful will be the restrictions inflicted on the most vulnerable, whose social network and access to doctors, chemists, library and local shops will be restricted even more.”

I have to agree that the set-back of services in Diggle and Greenfield are bloody ludicrous. I know for a fact I'd improve the 184 to every 30 minutes throughout if I was in charge, or at least improve it to Diggle to every 20 minutes. They literally are just crying out loud for a decent bus service and it just gets pulled from them every time.
