THE K7 bus between Keighley and Oakworth is a frequent, punctual and reliable service, greatly due to it following a route that is for the most part congestion free.

Why, therefore, could anyone at Transdev think it would be a good idea to amalgamate this service with the Dalesway Skipton bus which encounters some of the worst traffic hold ups in Cross Hills, Steeton Top, and from the Hard Ings roundabout along Skipton Road and North Street? Not just at peak times but at many other parts of the day.

Please do not change the K7 service and route. Leave what is a high 'rider-ship' and excellent service as it is. It works!

To all who agree with my letter could I urge you to contact Transdev and make your feelings known.
