I WAS pleased for the people of Stretford that they had so many buses going to the Trafford Centre they could afford to stop the one that links with the Metro.

In the area of Sale where I live, we had just one bus going to the Trafford Centre, the number 17. Over a year ago it was taken off with no consultation.

I thought the bus companies were there to give a service and encourage us to use public transport.

I hope that if contracts come up for renewal, Arriva doesn't get one.
