SOME passengers feel trips by bus are a pain, as they ramble to pick up passengers on a twisted route through the New Forest.

The adaptation of Lymington’s no. 6 to the Forest all day bus fools no-one. It is nothing more than a bus for shoppers.

It is all very well schools claiming use of buses pensioners could do with.

They are not the most comfortable or new that rattle into Southampton, and break down with these old charabancs are not uncommon.

Without making it clear how prospective passengers from Totton could afford to use it too?

There seems to be no connecting service to Tythe for them to use. Bus drivers are not always wise to saving costs in company law.
