SIR – I am writing about the poor bus service in Malvern.

I am disgusted with the council paying for the buses to run to the hospital when the Belmont, Yates Hay Road area are left with one bus an hour to the retail park and to Great Malvern and there are no direct buses to Worcester and the hospital from Belmont and Yates Hay Road.

We don’t need a 45 bus to Poolbrook when there is Aston’s bus company which runs there and to Great Malvern. I think they should restore the 44a twice an hour. I am blind and the 44a service was very good. I think this needs to be looked at. Loads of people used the 44a every day. It was busier then the 44 to the hospital.

Can I say what a great company Diamond buses are. They run to time and are friendly.
