Video Interviews
It impacts me Keeping Fit
" I used to go to the gym in Eastleigh which is opposite the bus station. I tried going a couple of times and it really stressed me out, because it took so long to get there. One day I got to Fair Oak on the journey home and had to wait at the bus stop for 45 minutes. It's so frustrating because I only live down the road in Colden Common!"
- Annette Walker
I can't get to my Hospital Appointments
"It affects my friends who live in Eastleigh, because they have hospital appointments in Winchester and now find it hard to get there!"

It's costing me more money
"Thanks to the withdrawing of the 61, it will cost me £12 for a round trip to Eastleigh (from Colden Common). If you don't qualify for concessionary travel, the price is around £3 per journey. Two buses to Eastleigh, plus two to return!"
- Liz Hutchinson
It's having a big affect on my Education
"The 61 bus was essential for me to get to and from college independently. Since it was cut, I’ve had to rely on my parents for lifts, which is inconvenient for them, as well as increasing our carbon footprint."
