Rural Bus Services

Proceeding contribution from Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 April 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rural Bus Services.

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way a second time—I will claim first place because I want to mention a Dorset problem. I wonder whether he has experienced the same problem that I have, where parents and students have decided to go to an out-of-catchment school, knowing that there was a bus route, but suddenly the bus service has been terminated. Even for catchment routes, I have got parents and students

stranded without a bus or a safe route to school along country lanes. Our problem with the main services has spilt over into providing services that get young people to school and thereby comply with our law and our expectations of young people staying on longer at school.
