Concessionary Bus Travel; Liz Cooke's Parachute Jump. 23/08/2011

Guide Dogs for the Blind Association expresses concerns about the future of concessionary bus travel, and Liz Cooke relives her parachute jump for the programme back in 1993.

John Welsman, transport policy officer for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Asssociation, explains the charity's concerns about the future of concessionary bus services, following government cuts. Listeners offer their suggestions to journalist Maggie Rosen to help her get the equipment she needs to help her continue working now that she's losing her sight. And ahead of our 50th Anniversary we delve into the programme's archive with reporter Liz Cooke, who relives her 1993 parachute jump.
