Dan Watkins ("We need a bus," EA January 8) can get a bus to/from the hospital on a Sunday.

The main service to/from the hospital, the number 16, serves the bus stop on Queens Drive at the end of his road, Ripon Way, every half-hour from approximately 6.30am.

The last service 16 bus back from the hospital is at 10.15pm.

While I am sorry if a lack of late night buses causes inconvenience to Mr Watkins, there are no buses to/from the hospital after about 10.30pm simply because, at that time of night, there is not sufficient passenger demand.
