'Unreliable' and 'inaccessible' bus services slammed
The Journal
|May 28, 2025
LABOUR MP Emma Foody has slammed bus services in her constituency after residents called them "unreliable" and "inaccessible".
The Cramlington and Killingworth representative surveyed hundreds of constituents in the aptly named Big Bus Survey which found broad dissatisfaction with services in the area.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Ms Foody said the Government's upcoming Bus Services Bill needed to put passengers "back in the driving seat". Leader of the House of Commons, Lucy Powell, said the new legislation would devolve more powers locally to improve transport options.
