SIR – There may be a case for Worcestershire County Council to cut some of the proposed 88 buses in Worcester (Tom Edwards, Worcester News, November 26), but the 31 route should be the last to go.

This service helps passengers to and from St John’s, including students, and many people who board at CrownGate to get to the hospital.

How would non-car drivers get to the Royal?

The 31 bus with its variable routes is too valuable to too many customers to be axed.
