After a successful campaign getting the 61 bus returned to the back of Frankley, National Express has now cut the 49 service. While I can understand them wanting to improve a famously unreliable service, I don’t want that done at the expense of Frankley having less access to opportunity. #FrankleyForward https://www.facebook.com/FrankleyForward/videos/660980488144538/
