MY experiences of the First bus service in the Kidderminster district have too often been bad ones.

It seems that unless you lie along the route covered by the No 3, it can be hit or miss. Many a time I have been stood at the Town Hall with other disgruntled passengers as Number 3s chase each other around the district, all of them big buses, many less than half full, while other services are haphazard.

I appreciate roadworks and accidents contribute to delays but my observations have covered the past four years and these appear to have been the least of the problems.

I wonder, would you put the following discussion point to your readers?

Using the First bus service in the Kidderminster area, it is possible to reach your destination on time regularly - provided your destination falls along the route covered by the Number 3. Discuss.

I look forward to reading the replies.
