The number 11 Arriva bus that served Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's treatment centre was stopped last April when the company made cuts.
A Shrewsbury community leader is to meet with transport bosses to plead for a "vital" hospital route to be reinstated.The number 11 Arriva bus that served Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's treatment centre was stopped last April when the company made cuts, and a boss said it would cost £150,000 to run.
Next week he will meet bosses at Arriva to make the case for reinstating the route, and has urged people affected to get in touch. “My inbox and postbag are currently full of stories of missed appointments and vulnerable residents left unable to get home in cold and wet weather. One 82 year-old woman waited for nearly two hours at the station with no communication at all, and missed an important hip operation check-up as a direct result.
The meeting comes after Councillor Wagner wrote to Arriva back in August to complain about the reduced reliability. He is demanding action from senior officials over complaints that residents trying to get to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital are being left without a service.
