SIR - Please can someone tell me what the people living up at Whiteway and Highfields in Dursley have done to merit such a drastic reduction in our bus timetable?

The 210 rail link bus is the only one that serves these estates and they seem to be very well used.

During the afternoons there are no buses at all after 2.26pm until 6.30pm. All the other five buses stop at May Lane, why? It's a long walk uphill with shopping, especially if it's pouring with rain.

Please think again, there are many oldies up here.

Mrs E Tudgay, Whiteway, Dursley
