Stranded? Last bus home to rural village leaves five minutes after first one arrives
Residents in rural southern Scotland, particularly in Glentrool, are dissatisfied with a new bus timetable that leaves them feeling isolated. The last bus home to Glentrool leaves just five minutes after the first one arrives, causing inconvenience and upset for residents, especially the elderly. The timetable changes have impacted socializing opportunities, access to services, and overall community connectivity. Dumfries and Galloway Council has acknowledged the issues and is considering ways to improve bus services in the region.
