The 87 bus is saved, but only in part...

As part of the Conservative-run County Council's slash and burn approach to bus subsidies, the subsidised evening and Sunday service on routes 87 and 88 will cease on 2 April. However, for some at least, there is some good news.

Galloways have announced that they will be running a revised Sunday service on the route, between Stowmarket and Ipswich via Needham Market six times a day between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., using one bus. My only confusion is that the timetable is labelled 'Mendlesham - Stowmarket - Claydon - Ipswich', yet there is no indication that buses stop at Mendlesham or any intermediate point between there and Stowmarket.

I'll be in touch with Galloways to see if there's something I've missed, and report back later...
