Yapton man furious at ‘unreliable’ Stagecoach bus service

Doug Maw, 53, chooses not to drive due to the environmental impact, but has found his luck runs dry when he attempts to catch the 700 bus from Sparks Corner in Yapton.

Doug said: “If you spoke to anyone at the bus stop they’d laugh if you said you were waiting for a specific bus.

“I’ve stood at Sparks Corner on freezing days among school kids and the elderly and no bus has come. Sometimes it’s two or three buses missed in a row. It’s a pretty awful service.”
