MAY I take issue with Phil Cooper’s recent letter?

I can assure him that the bus stop at the Prince Regent, Whitchurch was used.

I, for example, regularly used it two or three times a week to Andover, Winchester, Laverstoke, Overton or Basingstoke.

Indeed I, or my family, have used this request bus stop ever since it was instituted in the early 1940s.

With the recent alterations there is now no bus stop to Andover in London Road/ London Street between The Gables and Church Street and the one at the bottom of Lynch Hill/Test Road has also gone. It makes life very difficult for us elderly people.

Mr Cooper also makes great play of the now half-hourly service but how long will Stagecoach keep this service?

To my mind it is just a temporary sop to assuage complaints about the new routing.
