REGARDING the remarks about the bus services in Blackburn (Letters, December 10) I use both Stagecoach and Blackburn Corporation buses every day.

I have always found the Stagecoach drivers very polite and helpful, and mostly the buses I have used have been on time.

As regards the Corporation buses, I have waited for buses up to 45 minutes and ended up walking.

Now they have changed the numbers on some of the buses, is that going to make for more efficiency or punctuality? Time will tell.
