It's a pain isn't it? People in the big cities don't know how easy they have it. London - missed your train or bus? Don't worry there will be another in literally 2 minutes. In the sticks it's every 3 or 4 hours... It is a pain and hopefully your wheels will be back on the road soon  x |

when i go to dorset to visit family the buses are shite....having said that i can see why....theres rarely anyone on them ,as a result they are also very expensive...£2.50 for a 10 min journey...im not sure how much i think they should be subsidised by the public purse though..its complicated.. |

they are so sparce bacause many of the rural villages are full of wealthy pensioners with cars or full of wealthy commuters with cars who do not need to use the bus leaving them to the school bus and pensioners on bus passes therefore making them uneconomical outside of those times unless you are lucky enough to live in a tourist trap then the frequency improves dureing the tourist season |

I ended up getting a taxi to get my car as apparently the afternoon bus doesn't run during school holidays 
Thank goodness for cars when you love in the middle of nowhere |
