PHONE-IN
Faced with the "nightmare" of losing its local bus service, residents of a Perthshire village decided to take over the route themselves. The 55 Glenfarg to Kinross service was axed earlier this year after its operators Earnside Coaches retired. But thanks to a group of volunteers and the recruitment of three full-time drivers, the service is back and proving more popular than ever. It now runs an hourly daily service six days a week, starting at 07:10. Glenfarg Community Transport Group said the 55 service now enjoys about 300 passenger journeys per week, an increase of 200 on last year.

As one Perthshire village decided to take over a bus route themselves, Stephen asks - what’s the bus service like where you are?
