I AM bemused by the letter from Mr J Norbury regarding the possible removal of the No 16 bus service from the Sale West area to and from Manchester.

He has only to stay on the 19 bus for an extra two stops, and can then change straight over to a 41....which passes the university.

As a user of the 16 on occasions myself, I'm disappointed that it is being withdrawn, but Arriva is a business and cannot be expected to run services at a loss in the present economic climate.
