It was so hard to read the articles this week about the removal of bus services around the Winchester area, including Pat Davies' moving article last week, and the effect it is having on people without cars.

I was then very surprised to learn that the Blue Star No. 1 from Southampton to Winchester has actually increased the number of buses per hour from 4 to 5 - one bus every 10 minutes!

It is perfect for me, living on that route, but it is hard to understand the justification when so many other routes are suffering.
