WITH reference to the letter regarding problems with the 257 bus service, I too am aware of delays.

I believe this is because of the ongoing roadworks in Wordsley, which causes significant problems to bus reliability especially in the peak hours.

To alleviate this, buses are sometimes repositioned on the route in order for them to try to regain their original timetable. Obviously this means that, on occasions, certain parts of the route will have missing journeys.

As a regular passenger myself on this route, I share the frustration, but I am sure things will improve once the roadworks are completed.
