Written evidence from N Thompson (BUS
81)
I wish to object most strongly about the bus reductions
due to begin next month.
The weekend services into the Yorkshire Dales are
extremely well used by walkers in particular. These buses play
an important role in keeping cars off the road, thus reducing
pollution.
The X59 service between Skipton and Harrogate is
to be reduced drastically and will only be of real benefit to
passengers travelling from Harrogate. It will no longer provide
an opportunity to Skipton people to spend a day in Harrogate.
I urge that all is done to prevent these valuable
bus services being curtailed or withdrawn.
