Do you think the lost routes of Lowestoft should be returned? « Posted: 17 June 2011 at 05:13 PM »
Many years ago first buses without prior consultation decided to axe nearly all of the Lowestoft central bus routes, just recently they had another clear out and the 103 was reduced to a half hourly service. We are the second biggest town in Suffolk and there are only 5 routes that run around the towns estates. Only two of these routes now run every 15 minutes. Do you think that routes such as the 105 to Higher Drive and X99 to Ipswich should be brought back? Would you use them if First did not run them?  evil6

As I often use public transport more bus routes and a more frequent service on some routes would be appreciated but the routes have to be profitable to the bus companies. As to whom run the services, I am not bothered as long as their buses are road worthy, clean and comfortable and they employ well mannered and polite staff.

I want the Lowestoft Corporation buses back too.  I used to use one that went down Norwich Road to take me to Kensington Gardens many years ago when I lived in Rotterdam Road.

Makes me laugh First have just released this new fare promotion around Lowestoft and Souhwold and Africa Alive feature on  it! Amazing as the only buses that run there are Anglian Shocked
