The scale of Stagecoach's bus service cuts have shocked passengers, politicians and other operators.
Across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire 20 bus services are to be cut and others reduced. What do those living in a town about to be written off the public transport map altogether make of the changes?
That, combined with driver shortages, rising costs for bus operators and increasing numbers of people either working from home have led to bus firms needing to reduce their costs, she says. Under the Bus Services Act 2017, if an operator wants to cancel a route it has to tell the local authorities the route passes through and the regional Traffic Commissioner, who are responsible for registering local bus services.
Isabella, 17, steps off a bus and heads towards the town's Cromwell Community College, where she is studying A-Levels. She says there is a "really crammed" school bus she could take but that service only operates at the start and end of the day. Relying on that, she adds, would "reduce my freedom"."Soon I'll be able to drive. But between me learning to drive and the bus stopping, I don't know how I'm going to be getting to school.
