71 Bus

How many of you who use the 71 bus regularly are unhappy with the service? LOADS!

That's why I've written about it in Skeffling News this month, AND sent a letter to the Gazette.

Most people have had enough of being jostled about on the ride from Easington, and all stops to Withernsea. We've listened to the pathetic excuses about why we can't have a decent, low level bus which doesn't rattle along while we shiver in the draft coming from who knows where.

It's time to take action.

Everyone I've spoken to about this have complaints galore. All of them fed up with being treated like second class citizens who are not important enough to have a 'proper' bus. Okay, so it's a small route, but it is the only one we've got, and those of us who use it don't think it's beyond the realms of East Riding Motor Services to provide an up-to-date bus that has our safety and comfort in mind.

We have a terrific driver in Paul Davig, now can we please have a bus that matches his high standard of care.

If you agree with me, please, please, write to Peter Shipp at East Yorkshire Motor Services, 252 Anlaby Road, Hull, HU3 2RS.

The more complaints he gets, the more chance we have of getting the bus we deserve.

I'd be very interested in your comments about the 71 bus, and if you want help writing a letter just let me know.
