bus service

Dear Ms Burbidge,

Further to your email, the Officer 
advice is below.

Thames Travel’s plans for their new commercial bus 
network, commencing on 8th December, originally removed all bus 
services from Culham Village. Fortunately Oxfordshire County Council 
has secured a deal for some buses on the new Berinsfield – Abingdon 
service T2 to divert via Culham Village. Buses will therefore serve the 
village in the peak hours and two hourly during the daytime to and from 
Abingdon. I appreciate that this a reduction on the current hourly 
service but Thames Travel has withdrawn the current service 32 entirely 
and we welcome their co-operation in agreeing to divert some journeys 
from the main A415.

Regards,

Hi
I 
was shocked to hear on Friday evening at community meeting that all bus 
service to Culham is ceasing at the end of this week without, 
seemingly, any warning or consultation with residents.  Whose in charge 
here? Can you please look into this and if possible, at the very least, 
negotiate a 'stay of execution' to enable the consequences of this this 
decision to be evaluated.
Regards
