Save the 'Blue Skylink': Airport-Kegworth-Sutton Bonington-Loughborough

Comments

#201

This service provides an important link between the villages, Queens Medical Centre and Nottingham.

Many people who don't have vehicle transport, or who are finding cost of fuel too expensive and can't even afford a vehicle, will be cut off from transport. The village will be isolated and create a great deal of difficulty, for both young and old alike. Please reconsider this serious shift.

I don’t want to lose it

Sarah Wade (Derby, 2023-01-30)

I know it’s helpful for people to use this service

Charlotte Liggins (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

We need this service

Ann Robinson (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#214

I think this bus is necessary to us in Kegworth and Sutton Bonington

Linda Bough-Bradshaw (Derby, 2023-01-30)

I use this vital lifeline to get into Loughborough and Long Eaton to do essential shopping. This is my only mode of transport and as a pensioner cannot afford to take a taxi three or four times a week.

Alan Eaton (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#217

This bus is still currently useful for when the yellow Skylink doesn't turn up. Perhaps the service could be saved if it was quicker to Nottingham after leaving Castle Donington. I think Sawley and Long Eaton may already be served by other buses coming from Derby. I'm aware that the Skylink Express also runs but only to Nottingham from the airport.

Critical Village transport

Lindsay Udall (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#220

It’s a disgrace that a village like Kegworth is to loose this service.

Jason Roper (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#221

this is a necessary service for those who have to attend hospital and clinical appointments in Nottingham, especially those who have to attend appointments at The Ropewalk clinic, which offers diabetic eye checks and audio appointments which necessitate timing of such appointments at a time when the NHS is under great pressure to deliver appointments that are kept

Sheila sharpe (Derby, 2023-01-30)

#223

I want to save the bus service

Amanda Wallis-Taylor (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#224

I live in New Street and there are older people who cannot walk to the village centre who use this bus

Dot Berridge (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#225

Essential to get to Sutton Bonington and Sawley or QMC without changing buses

Steve Pettitt (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#226

All the yellow Skylinks pass close by my house. We did not need three an hour when this blue Skylink was cut to weekdays only in October.

Paul Borg (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#231

Not everybody has a car. This Skylink covers places that the yellow ones don't

Pat Chaplin (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#233

I want this service to continue

Glen Caddick (Kegworth, Derby, 2023-01-30)

#234

In the Station Road area of Kegworth this bus is a lifeline to many. The student bus and the little white bus do not help.

John Summerhayes (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#250

without it we cannot get to loughborough and see our friends

Hannah Snelling (Derby, 2023-01-30)

#251

This bus is the only link my campus (Sutton Bonington) has to the local supermarket and it is really important that we are able to use this!

Sophie Parker (Liverpool, 2023-01-30)

#253

I use this transport all the time

Frankie Brown (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#254

It is the only way I am able to go to supermarket shopping and get into Loughborough from University. The discontinuation of this service would be a major inconvenience for me.

Jasmin Anand (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#255

It is the only direct link for my friends to get back to loughborough

Imogen Phillips (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#256

there’s so many old people that this might be their only means to get to loughborough! also when ur hungover and can’t drive this bus has been a lifesaver

Jasmine Aitken (derby, 2023-01-30)

#257

So many people use this bus to get to work to go food shopping and to get to university!

Sady Meehan (kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#264

I use it all the time

Esha Mandavia (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#267

If I want to go to Loughborough for shopping or groceries or just for a day out this will be my only means of doing so living in a town like SB, I also use this service to board the EMR from Loughborough as it's cheaper than catching a taxi to East Midlands parkway

Nacchiappan Annamalai (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#272

This bus is essential to allow many students who live in kegworth and Sutton Bonington to get food shopping and I know of people who rely on the route to commute to work

Hazel Jenkins (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#273

To allow access to Loughborough from SB and access to the airport

Amelie Frost (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#277

I am a student who’s only link to Loughborough and the airport is through the skylink

Sarah Thompson (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#286

This service is an important way to connect communities and provide access to shops.

Anna Mear (Chard, 2023-01-30)

#290

This is a much needed service. I understand that some drivers have been telling bus pass holders not to register as you get on.

ANDREA WILSON (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#295

I need this service to remain in place so that I can work.

Isabelle Goddard (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#297

Kegworth is cut off from most other services that connect the rural villages to the next cities. The blue skylink is essential for many students to use to commute to University.

Elaine Yarwood (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#301

Without this bus service, my ability to carry out research will be affected negatively. I will have to rely more heavily on alternate vehicular transport which may contribute to congestion along the route from Loughborough through Hathern, Zouch and Sutton Bonington.

Daniel Wardak (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#302

It's the only link we have to Loughborough and taxis cost £20 one way.

Jordan Barnes (Corsham, 2023-01-30)

#303

I have and do when I need to get to the university and can’t use a car. To a certain degree I can’t continue education or would be forced to use a vehicle adding to cars on the road and the environmental impact without a bus service. Let alone it prevents travel between towns to a degree

Jack Tacey (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#305

When in first year had no other way to get to the shops so needed this service. Other students benefit from this

Callum Hill (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#310

I will be moving to Sutton Bonington soon and would want to use this bus service

Alex Jennings (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#312

Yes, I have use this service a number of times.

Jane Odoi (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#313

It is important and is the only way for us to get to Loughborougj

Ryan Tung (Sutton Bonington, 2023-01-30)

#315

I use occasionally but I know it is a vital lifeline for so many villagers. Its removal will hurt those without their own transport. Rather than remove it, introduce a timetable that reflects demand or bring in smaller buses.

Andrew Moseley (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#323

I'm signing because I do use this bus but also I see a lot of students use the bus to come from loughborough to have a look round and go to pubs and cafes - they bring business with them. Also a lot of people use the buses in the morning to get to Loughborough to work.

Imogen Houghton (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#328

I use this bus service often as a way to see my sister when I am at uni

Laura West (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#329

Important as member of UoN at Sutton Bonington campus - essential for travel surrounding this campus to access especially for those without cars

Malaika Amini (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#335

This service is so needed especially at night to be able to get home.

Jayne SMITH (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#343

i think the sutton bonnington campus of the university of nottingham should retain the infrastructure as it is more rural and these connections are needed

Emma Vines (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#348

our only way to get into loughborough

Nerissa Patel (derby, 2023-01-30)

#350

Iam signing because this service is essential for us as residents of Sutton Bonington.

AHMED MAHMOUD (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#356

This is an important and well used facility.

Anna Jones (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#358

This is the only transport option for myself and other students studying at Sutton Bonington to get into Loughborough.

Shannon Corcoran (Loughborough, 2023-01-30)

#359

Because the villagers in the surrounding areas need this service or they’ll be totally isolated

Anthony Pagett (Kegworth, 2023-01-30)

#366

A simple route to get to the airport and supermarkets is needed as taxis and car parking is extremely expensive in both cases.

Kirsty Dalzell (Nottingham, 2023-01-30)

#371

i use the bus

Raye Osin (Derby, 2023-01-31)

#373

It is an essential transport network

Laura Chisholm (Kegworth, 2023-01-31)

#378

Vital link from an isolated uni campus

LUCY O'BRIEN (Warwick, 2023-01-31)

#380

I love this bus service. It's vital for keeping Sutton Bonington connected and makes a great route to get into Loughborough from there. I spend a lot of time in Sutton Bonington and need it to run through there!

Beatrice Browning (Derby, 2023-01-31)

#382

I have mobility issues I don’t drive i only travel by bus

Chris May (Kegworth, 2023-01-31)

#383

It is the main way of getting to Qmc Nottingham

Terry hanman (Kegworth, 2023-01-31)

#399

I used this service throughout my undergrad and it was a lifesaver. I lived in kegworth and did not have a car so the service was essential to get to Loughborough for the train station, part-time work and food shops. The service was also essential when the university’s hopper bus service was not running. Without the skylink bus it would not have been possible to live in kegworth without a car. Removing this service will isolate a large community of people from accessing certain services.

Jacqui Kenny (London, 2023-01-31)

I'm signing because even though the Derby Skylink does run to the airport and to loughborough from Kegworth it does not pass through Sutton Bonington. This means everytime I need to get to the work or the airport it takes me over an hour even though it's only an 15 min drive away...
