Letter: Coach services are not under threat
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.YOUR PIECE on the withdrawal of certain National Express services ("Passengers left stranded as axe falls on coach routes", 22 November) gives the impression that the route changes referred to are part of a programme of cutbacks. They are not. They are merely the result of the routine review of our timetable which takes place every spring and autumn to reflect seasonal customer demand. Overall we are operating the same number of cross-country journeys as last winter.
You state that services between London and Cumbria, London and North Wales and Norwich and Cambridge are under threat. I would like to reassure your readers that this is not true.
