I MUST agree with your correspondent Jean Botley – Why do they want to change this bus service when it works so well? (Keighley News, December 15).
The amalgamation of Oakworth and Skipton services is a disaster waiting to happen.
I am very familiar with both.
I use the Oakworth bus on a regular basis and it’s always on time going out and in, even after battling through North Street.
On the other hand, I travel to Skipton often and although going is not too bad, coming back is a nightmare.
To put it in real terms, I travel from Skipton to Hard Ings roundabout in 10 minutes – from there to High Street takes about 20 minutes.
I know the bus uses a different route, but driving in North Street is the same for all.
A phrase comes to mind – if it ain’t broke, don’t mend it. In other words, leave well alone.
