I AM writing on behalf of the friends, family and fellow passengers of the X22 bus, that has been running between Winsford and Liverpool for over 35 years.

This Saturday is that last time the bus will run, where the pensioners do not need to pay.

After that they will have to pay a fare of £7.50.

The bus service is due to stop completely in three months.

The decision has been made by the council to cut this vital link and there is nothing further to discuss with them but we want to thank Cindy Byers who has put her heart into saving this service.

Giving many hours of her time with the council trying to persuade them to change their mind.

Everyone understands that savings need to be made, but this link has kept friends and family in contact with each other for many years.

Many thanks Cindy for all your hard work, from your family, friends and fellow passengers of the X22 bus.

Joyce Fitzgerald Winsford
