We're going to change will be contacts as well so we're only joined in the revolution f one s don't see a course in Suffolk I mean most of them Sickles but they change the why the contract is works and then we're really pleased with the offer up from my a man remains in a very serious condition in hospital after a crash crash between 2 cars that rate in this Southwold yesterday afternoon both drivers had to be cut free from their vehicles the man was taken by ambulance to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital a female was taken to the James pantsuits the f.b.i.

Not miss the ad breaks this b.b.c. Radio. Thank you stave and lots to talk about in this last hour of the program bus travel to begin with with bus travel dropping across the country what is the situation like here for buses really it's only a more can be done to get more of us onto the bus. A number of years goes from having never. Come a very. Young contactless coming to 1st eastern counties buses we can all skip the trustees the other big provider in Suffolk because they're managing director parent he's the only person who can talk and he's not around today so sorry for that we can't ask them about that but I'd love to hear what you think of the state of our services 147-321-2121 look deal by even Ipswich it's random act of calling the state tomorrow so blue case law even switch at 930 or thereabouts and he's going to be doing some random acts of kindness. Possibly go wrong. So if anybody done you a stranger a random act of kindness for you. I love your stories as those of those as well on the program one for 73 c one. C Radio Suffolk Tempest on Friday morning James has that 10 list at one Stephen Foster of. Georgie at 7 am Wayne But even tonight it. How much is the bus service where you live it declined or is it still really strong ridge the popular b.b.c. Investigation at this morning suggests the bus network he ain't Britain is shrunk back to what it was in the late 19 eighties we'll hear from Chris speed from 1st Eastern Counties in a moment so he told me earlier that they are backing the train when it comes to passage numbers but what is your experience here Ellen's on the line to me from bites and Hello Ellen. Good morning thanks for joining us what's it like for you. And we have seen have quite a regular but that isn't a nicely case we have a point if we came that way instead and if we die but it's an expense. That by the time you've got to kill. 86 get a taxi. And he wants to travel from ferry to study. There's anything taking offense between the train and the bus. But you can get on the China thing off now well so why would you get on the bus it shouldn't be like that should it really shouldn't I if you live in the villages between hive and I'm sorry I had to look for a friend of mine last possibly even his coat of pasta race or public bathroom so if you have a child any one of the knowingly leeches between hi to him daily and I want to go into hiding his honor sex life the best sex that job they have to be able to leave high to help I coach Costa Rica I make and. It is very difficult because it's kind of chicken and egg isn't it really you need the bus services to be running and to be regular so that people can use them and they won't put the mom because people aren't using them so it's a scarlet chicken egg isn't it a cliche hasn't changed I started my fast fast I feel 20 is a guy this week and I used to have to put trainers on when Michelle shot to sprint to the bus station to get my last bus high 545 the last bus back to bison from baby it's still 54520 years I said nothing has changed now said the buses use lucky people now come on get on that they need to be able to leave the Time Life and they can't do it so they've had to stop eating it. It's a shame is that I wonder whether the days of buses are numbered I think study on my boys have learned to ride the bike than they know I decided Kuwait's between fighting them by rate because they want to whether they can have sex they killed the bus isn't going to be an option for the manual. Alan thanks very much indeed Trevor Garrett is with me chairman of the East Suffolk Travelers Association Good morning Trevor Good morning see writing to the East Anglian Daily Times today one of the sad. Well essentially we. We we like the into buses the buses the go between towns for example if you're going from back Austin or if you've got a bus every quarter of an hour if you're going from it switch up to less than an hour. You've got an hourly service but as the lady said earlier from Bateson those buses finish in the early evening there's very little later on in the evening so if you do indeed want to go into town and you've got to stay there presence of 7 or 8 in the evening all you've got people perhaps in the night time economy that want to get jobs in town during the evening the chances are they won't have a bus back Sunday busses are also very poor I mentioned placed in an over they don't have a Sunday bus service a toll so. Ok during the day in many cases it's fine in the evenings and on Sundays it is quite poor is there enough done to publicize the the bus routes from the train stations because I seem to be there some campaign to try make it more joy Noppawan the guide what indeed and that still isn't right of fishes the organization that we're affiliated to Nestle has recently been doing work on that. Certainly I think it is important that bus operators and the train operator do co-operate we do have something called plus plus which means that you can take it shall we say to its which buses it means that you get a trying to switch your ticket then takes you on any of the time passes there are things like that there's also the combined bus and trains take it to size world you can get a ticket from its which decides world which saves you on the train to house with and then they connect us to size world so some such tickets do exist and we want to see more of them. Do you worry about the future of buses and the bus routes because numbers are down nationally we hear from Krispy from 1st East again sometimes and back in the train but nationally there are far fewer journeys. There are there are fewer journeys in a lot of places not everywhere and yesterday I actually travel by bus from backhoes to Norwich and have an excellent journey. And as I say that bus service is a success story unfortunately if I wanted to go to certain other places like Bungie it is a bit more complicated so certainly there are important routes where there's no train service where the bus has a role but I think we must accept that some kind of subsidy is needed for the off peaks. This is the evening and Sunday services which may not be as frequent but still needed was interesting is no point 5 percent of the the the journey by boss Norwood 2 percent by train and yet we spend a lot more money subsidizing the round so it's more money goes into routing buses. Yes On the other hand it's also less a subsidy is more of a contract between the bus between the train operator and the government and Sun operators such as Bell you know Greater Anglia actually have to pay a premium back to the government out of their profits so we try and service a bit more complicated. Morely that one to one side then. You can do complicate this like in the way Chairman thank you very much Chairman of the Suffolk Travelers Association Chris speed is head of operations for 1st East and county she told me earlier that they are bucking the trend when it comes to passenger numbers this is what he had to say the office and instantaneous whips we've seen increase think it's all the time to listen to what the customers want so what sort of things have you done soon touch them a boat so it's understand what we're going to set of go our car a number of years goes by have 11 states have a long and now sometimes I think I said bus so it's apps contact is coming very soon. So so the moment if you get on a bus you would still have to pay money potentially as it says to waste I mean if you're on and you have to yes I cash or you can download the 1st bus app and you can type your tickets for direct that are all for you know an apple pie but if someone wanted to just kind of get on a bus you know if they wanted to get bus they would have to get cash and cash from my going to change the b. Contacts as well so a phony join in the revolution and when I was stoned I mean that was going to be my question you know when are we going to get real because the I you but I but it's happened in London for years haven't we have Yeah I mean that especially of course in Suffolk I mean I will do most of them signals but they change the why the contact is works and then we really place it off not from my. And I you looking at new routes or Walt so we've potentially review our rate so we sleep with increased our services in Lowestoft between those 2 tackles and knowledge and we redounds have an old bridge to put more buses on and we're always looking for feedback and customers Suffolk County Council and years groups are really handy for that as well as I told us that there's a lot of money that goes into the round network these days. Would you like some of that money put into the bus network so I mean you mentioned London and the always been the money to spend in London if we spent that money time it would seem. 5 percent of all trips and then to take it on the bus compared to 2 percent. And so you know it's perhaps the Cinderella service maybe. About it but yeah I like that one so well said 147-321-2121 extension 1 the way off the Commons as.

Investigation suggest the bus network in Britain has shrunk back to what it was in the like 19 eighties Collins in switch Good Morning Call in morning hi thanks for joining us what do you got to say this morning Colin Powell I don't think. We're going to get any very well but. Nice you more. 'd money. And if we had any money. The price is up. So let me know when. You get so then I'll get enough revenue from those free passes Oh well now you know . And so those who who have to pay probably subsidizing those who don't like that young family you know might be very. Very. I guess you can see Baucus who is saying but you know I think I'm moment my life. For what. It's about well probably no no most the most things when I look towards retirement say getting seem to get further and further away as the weeks go on. But you know people it's not the season to get something back in old age. You know when it's not when something is needed and they're not benefiting from a. Big photo or your colleague or went to Portsmouth in November or type to pass you got to pay 23 pounds for. Looking good on everybody during the day and the bus service is brilliant but the states code system that what they yeah. Yeah buses are plentiful buses with Drug Service call a good job good government you know you're not alone in your thoughts by those by sponsors I know you thank you very much Lisa in Bury St Edmunds Good morning Shirley your morning my good morning what's it like for you these days to catch a bus Well I live on the horn to court to stay in various F.M.'s young and quiet trash Israeli for the last year they all to to praise the us stay Vinson's took one boss off and rearranged a time table. So then we were left with just a space in the manner we were left with 2 passes and now that they come within 10 minutes of each other. So very clever with this statement doesn't run in the afternoons after about 2 ish. Somali spouse. Runs in the afternoon but this upright between 2 and 4 so if you're in town you can't get past until quite possible back to mine. And stay Mrs doesn't run across on our site on a Saturday I. Just have one hour on the Saturday how do you feel about that how many it must be difficult to plan a trip into town yeah I had the other day I had a doctor's appointment Tempah for. So had to catch the bus and I was so Vice time until my point and then I'll get a pass to call past 5 to get home. So you know. Would you like to see some more investment in our bus service is. Definitely. There half an hour part that is just 10 minutes that would that would make more sense that. We could go making that I had last year about the buses. Didn't sound very hopeful that I would do anything or anything to. But yeah I rely on them quite. Well the thing is there is so much congestion in our towns Barrie at Lowestoft Ipswich particularly you know if more of us jumped on the bus if it was cheap enough reliable enough and around a bit more frequently perhaps there wouldn't be so many cans on the road. Because I mean I think I have a car. So I don't use a car that often I just want to keep the tell if I can. Get something sorted Thank you I mean it's a crazy situation buses coming 10 minutes apart Jill seen Shockley and has got something to say on this Hello Jill.
