SIR: After baby sitting one Friday night for my daughter, I decided to 'stay over' as I was working overtime on the Saturday morning, 8am to 12 noon! Four hours at time and a half was not to be scoffed at! But I found out that not ONE bus came along the A6 (Horwich to Bolton) at that time in the morning, 7.30am.

I had to walk 20-25 minutes to the 'usual bus stop' that I use, just so I could get to work.

Come on you bus companies, wake up, 7.30am is half the day gone anyway! Surely they could just put at least one bus on at that time in the morning. Some of us have a car - some don't! Some of us need the overtime, if it is only to put an extra slice of bread on the table!
