DID the council put the bus fares up to pay for the empty park and ride nonsense?
If they had drained the field by the river on the opposite side of the road and made a car park, people could have walked a few yards to the bus stop and caught the ordinary bus, even if they needed two double deckers for the morning rush hour.
It is ridiculous to charge £2 return fare from Newport Street to the GW Hospital, people do not go there for fun.
The Government does nothing that would help everyone, eg the utilities should be nationalised instead of all the different electricity companies vying for custom, all claiming to save the customer money.
People need an efficient service and electricity as cheaply as possible, not gimmicks, air miles and Sainsburys points.
The railways used to work when we had GWR, SR, LNER and LMS.
When it was nationalised and Beeching closed the village stations everything went haywire, now it is being priced out of existence.
Is there anyone in Whitehall with a grain of intelligence?
