Passengers who use public transport in South Yorkshire are being warned front-line services will be affected by the next round of funding cuts. South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive has already made £6.2 million of cutbacks and reduced its workforce by more than 24 per cent during the last three years. Until now the majority of those cuts have been to backroom staff – but SYPTE Director General David Brown is now warning future cuts will impact directly on front-line services. That could mean unprofitable routes could have their subsidies stopped – which could see the loss of some rural or late night services. The number of staff working at information points could be cut, there could be fewer security staff at stations and interchanges, and a freeze on investment and equipment in existing stations. www.thestar.co.uk/news/business/south-yorkshire-public-transport-cuts-1-5564566 |

Look at the figures for the freebee and engage the grey matter. There is more point to them than some of the lesser used services. |
