My 14 year old daughter used bus 20 to get to Kingston school. She now faces a 6 Mile round trip from Covingham which for a lone girl very unsafe and unpleasant in cold weather

This is a bus to the hospital, not an easy place to get to if you are unable to drive. I now have to use a taxi, which costs £6.70 each way. I have attended 4 appointments in the last week = £53.60.

As an oap i used to bus or walk down to aldi but now i hate the narrow pavement as it is not safe for an elderly person when school chikdren are walking along too. Bus 20 is my lifeline to town, doctors and my family. If it is wihdrawn i will be stranded and relying on others which as an independent oap i am not at all happy and feel neglected and pushed aside.

A bus service should be just that. It is an enabler for economic and social activities NOT a closed system that must justify itself on its own P&L account.

this is the only bus to the hospital without having to go all the way in to town and change to another bus which for elderly and disabled is very difficult and as a carer makes everyone's life very difficult

This service is such a valuable one. When I was pregnant I used to catch it for all my trips to the hospital (there were quite alot of trips) because although I can and do drive sometimes parking at the gwh is a nightmare whereas the bus was always on time to 5 mins late and never had to queue to get into a carpark meaning I was on time and not stressed. I don't understand why this bus has been cancelled because although I mainly used it from covingham to gwh it was never empty was often nearly half full when we got to the hospital. This bus serviced pretty much all East swindon with the ability to go to and from the hospital. Probably one of your most important bus routes. Please bring it back.

Once again Thamesdown & the local council show scant regard for the people who use this service.

Withdrawing this bus makes it very difficult to get to the hospital.
