WILFORD VILLAGE BUS TOO SMALL

The 171 bus serving Silverdale and Wilford village is overcrowded in the early morning peak. The current vehicle seats only 13 persons. Before 9am on weekdays, the bus has passengers standing all the way from Wilford village to Nottingham city centre. To avoid this, some village residents walk all the way to Wilford crossroads to catch a bus. Local councillors have been pressing NCT for improvements for over a year.
