As a regular user of the 53 service in the morning, evening and indeed weekends I find some of these comments interesting to say the least. I was on the one that arrived in ciren market place this am at 8 am and there was me and 3 others on it. I got the 19.20 bus from the market place yesterday and there was me and 2 others on it. Even the 17.20 from the market place this eve had barely 10 people in it. As for the school run I was on the Friday 14.45 service from Swindon to ciren last Friday that picked up at the school and in the region of 20 kids got on, so hardly full. I personally have no axe to grind as I actually like the 53 service and use it 3 - 5 times a week but come on guys get the facts correct rather than sensationalist commentary.

And yes I regularly walked and cycled the 3 mile trip to the schools I went to with no problems for me or my chums what so ever.
