A bus pulls into a bus stop outside the First Bus depot in Portswood, Southampton.
LEE-on-the-Solent has today
– very effectively and quietly –
been cut off.
The last First Bus bus
everyday is at 7.p.m which
means that if you go out, you
cannot get back.
This move by First Bus is a
desperate measure by them
to safeguard their dwindling
profits, by removing the less
popular and profitable services.
When Mrs Thatcher privatised
the buses some decades ago,
this is NOT what she intended:
she wanted competition by
several companies on the bus
routes, NOT this local monopoly
by First Bus, who can now do
whatever they want.
