CAN I point out a couple of facts:- First (not including other operators) operate approximately 30 (yes 30) buses a hour between City & Shirley High Street.
Of these 10 continue via Redbridge Hill to Millbrook as Route 2.
I see no justification for six minute frequency, as I have seen several buses on this route running round with only a few passengers on board or even empty.
The remainder descend onto Lordshill with about eight running via General Hospital (Probably needed).
I was gobsmacked to learn that the 12 is to be cut by 50 per cent between City & Lordshill and completely between Townhill Park, Bitterne, City Centre.
When I have travelled on this service, there always seems to be a steady flow of passengers.
I have suggested that the 2 service should be cut or withdrawn and the 12 re-instated, as this could cause hardship.
I sent two emails and a letter to bus, but not had a reply from any.
