Sir – There was great agitation for a bus link from Witney to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, and Stagecoach introduced the S7 in July, although it was pointed out that it does not enter the JR site, but stops outside in Headley Way on its way to Brookes University. I travelled on the 13.22 bus on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.

The journey from Witney Market Place to the main entrance of the JR took about 45 minutes, including a 10-minute walk (to the West Wing it would have been six minutes.)

This is about half the time it takes when changing in Oxford. Each time I was the only passenger for most of the journey.

Where are all the others who demanded this service? I cannot see it surviving. It’s the old story of use it or lose it.
