HOW I agree with John Smith's letter (LET, April 7) regarding the No 4 Higher Croft bus service. What a shambles.

What we would all like is a reliable service.

We would be happy with a regular bus service every 15 minutes which would mean on the hour, quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour. Surely this is not too much to ask? A reliable, regular service.

Every day at around 1.45pm there is a gap until 2.15pm and often during the day two buses will come together.

Its no good blaming the roadworks as we have travelled on the bus with one exceptional driver who I timed. It took 10 minutes from Manxman Road to town. So it can be done, and this was on a market day too.

Come on Mr Morton, what are you going to do about it?

A HESKETH (Mrs), Manxman Road, Blackburn.
