A wasted opportunity - why can't there be a morning bus to Stowmarket?

Suffolk County Council have published the new bus timetable for the Stowmarket area, and there is no change to the Taxibus service that runs through the village twice a day towards Little Stonham.

A little research has discovered that the Taxibus actually runs empty from Little Stonham to Stowmarket, leaving Little Stonham at approximately 9.15 a.m., with its next run scheduled at 10.30 a.m. to run from Stowmarket towards Rattlesden. Indeed, if a passenger was to ring Optua, who operate the service, he or she could arrange for it to collect them in Creeting St Peter on the way back to Stowmarket. However, the timetable doesn't mention that...

It isn't much to ask, so I'll be contacting the County Council to see if they can change the contract...
