LETTERS – I use Black Cat bus most days

I have to agree with David Jones (The Voice, Jan 11).
I use the Black Cat bus service most days.
I can get to the Johnson Hospital for appointments, or to Morrisons to do shopping, or to Springfields just because I can, from the bus station.
We have Sainsburys and Iceland close by, if you want to you can exit the bus at the Post Office or the railway station and if you want to shop in Aldi it will pick you up outside the store.
This bus service runs every 45 minutes so you don’t have to wait too long for a bus and they always run on time even with all the roadworks and the many trains.
The drivers are always polite and friendly, you can have a laugh and a joke with them.
It’s just a pity more people don’t use this service.
Thank you all of you.
