  1. Hi, I am Wheel Chair brand and can only get out of the house why are they using dial a ride or the 347 bus because of my wheelchair makes me too large to get into taxis.
    The bus service should be improved to a 15 minute time schedule and run on Sundays should be starting earlier at 7 am and running to at least 9 p.m. in the evening. This would also allow commuters to use both train stations at Minster and a reward just in case there is any faults with the Elizabeth line or the C2C.
    Presently I can only use one dial a ride per week return journey and as people get older and because of the uled I have carers who don’t have their own transport. Come 24 hours a day to look after me. Also I know that down on Hall Lane there is a large nursing home and that they do not have facilities to get the carers and I see them often walking up the hill.
