Hi tjj, you probably already know, but Sunday bus services from Swindon are being cut from next weekend.

The 5 Swindon - Salisbury will now only run as far as Marlborough.

The 49 Swindon - Devizes is being reduced to a two-hourly service.

Weekdays and Saturdays seem to be largely unaffected, just some changes to the times.

No, I didn't know about the 49 bus service and I am going to need to use it next Sunday so really appreciate this information. This is bleak news on top of slashing of library services and the biggest council tax increase in the country. xxxxxx (fill in your own expletive) Tories!

Re the X5, I do use it a lot but didn't think it ran on Sunday so don't even try to go in that direction.
Thanks very much for letting me know tsc, at least I will be able to plan my Sunday journey next weekend.

Tories?

Tony Blair.

It's the Tories that 'run' (as in run down) Swindon Council and are firmly embedded running things in Wiltshire. I don't mind if you want to give Blair a bit of a kicking though.

Sorry, instinctive reaction.. no offence intended. I am by no means a Tory.

However... Point is I work within financial services... and the more we dig trying to fix the problems the more Tony Blair's - and Gordon Brown's - fingerprints are upon everything which went wrong in the 2,000s. Labour voters have to shoulder responsibility for the meltdown. The guy had three terms, for chrissake! Assumption there is the country was happy with running up unprecedented levels of debt? I wasn't. Or else they simply did not understand? Someone has to attempt to pick up the pieces.
