Eco-future of buses

With exquisite timing and irony, last Sunday saw Stagecoach launch its new curvaceous fleet of number 60 double-decker buses between Bognor, Chichester and Midhurst, exhorting greener smarter travel.

Is this our eco-future? Rather than axing public transport, let’s celebrate a bus renaissance: The Bus Society with omnibuses running every 15 minutes!

Now back to the Archers and how to get from Ambridge to Borchester ... with no bus?
