I SMILED when I read of the various traffic schemes to ease traffic flow and the possible costs (Daily Echo, January 21).
Yet an option that helped cut car use, the train service from Totton to Romsey via Redbridge, Millbrook, the airport, Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford has been re-routed, cutting out Totton.
The passengers levels were always higher at Totton than Redbridge or Millbrook. Who makes these decisions?
When it was mooted to include a Salisbury link, why was the route to Salisbury not just extended from Romsey?
The end result is that all the people who picked up this local service have to change with a 40 minute wait at Southampton for the Chandler's Ford/Eastleigh/Romsey connection, or use the car!
