I HAVE been told that First is changing the No 4 bus route and it will no longer be going down Heslington Road.

Why? Because they want to put on double buses to accommodate the thousands of new students going to York University.

Yet many people such as me use the No 4 bus every day. I work on Heslington Road and have used the buses for 14 years.

They say the new service will begin in December, right at the start of winter and when the students will be on holiday.

First York has said it will be making a lot of money from these students but what about us who live and work in York? Once again we are being put second.

Why can't First still run the buses down Heslington Road.

Three buses an hour would help everyone. When I get the bus there are always people waiting.

Please First, provide a service for everyone.
