Letter: Plea for Route 1 bus to stop directly at hospital entrance

News OnTheWight always welcomes a Letter to the Editor to share with our readers – unsurprisingly they don’t always reflect the views of this publication. If you have something you’d like to share, get in touch and of course, your considered comments are welcome below.

This from Brian Wright. Ed


I have raised previously with different authorities that the Route 1 bus should pull in to the hospital entrance for the benefit of people using the hospital.

After all, the purpose of the hospital is to cater for the sick and frail.

Not just the able-bodied who often turn up in cars!  (Strange how the car park is nearer the front entrance than the bus stop).

I could go on, but don’t want to listen to all the reasons that will be presented to not make an improvement for the people!
