Apart from the 7.55,the 9.35 is quite often busy(or used to when i caught it in Earl Soham) but that was carrying alot of free passes. Take your point about empty buses.of course there will be less demand on some routes during off peak but its where there buses carrying 3 or 4 people regularly where eyes will be scrutinizing when the council needs to make savings. We shall see next year when tenders come up for renewal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-76308005221114696452014-11-19T23:25:44.567+00:002014-11-19T23:25:44.567+00:00Do Cretins live in Cretingham?

I caught the 0935 in from Fram the other week and that was standing by time we got to Ipswich too. I see far emptier buses than the 118/9 - the 113/4 being an example. People forget that even in NBC's day there were virtually empty buses too.Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075632962275755022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-5817764625332543612014-11-19T21:32:21.837+00:002014-11-19T21:32:21.837+00:00Weekdays are busy but suspect there are a consider...Weekdays are busy but suspect there are a considerable number of free passes and student passes in all that which might distort the numbers.we have gone from having buses every 2 hours ( IB,Beestons,Far East Travel) to now every 2 and half hours.Everytime council cuts are brought up,we sit and hope the 118/119 is left alone.Like everywhere else,its use it or lose it. 20 + years ago,we didnt have a bus through cretingham. Would hate to go back to that.Trevor Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11580679352006526817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-57464128351951710122014-11-19T21:22:24.103+00:002014-11-19T21:22:24.103+00:00Sorry to say I told you so but Debenham sunday ser...Sorry to say I told you so but Debenham sunday service was doomed from the start.it has never worked in the past when it has been tried. It wasnt pushed anyway.i bet there are people who live in Debenham who dont even know about it.Unfortunately,I dont think a sunday Framlingham service would do any better. Ive been on there on saturdays and there have been times when it has been dead.i havnt been on for a month due to work commitments but hopefully saturdays will pick up nearing xmas.Trevor Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11580679352006526817noreply@blogger.com
