Title: Chiltern Railways' 'ghost bus': Is this Britain's most bizarre route? Post by: CyclingSid on January 16, 2024, 07:08:49 A parly bus https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67955990 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67955990)
Is this a sign of the future? Cheaper to run a bus than go through the business of closing a line. Title: Re: Chiltern Railways' 'ghost bus': Is this Britain's most bizarre route?

Cheaper to run a bus than go through the business of closing a line. Maybe and I think there's some of this in France. Not new in the UK; I recall Ealing Broadway to Clapham, and Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent local services but don't think they run any more.
