WITH reference to your article 'Bus Service Saved' (Times, January 18). The response from your article generated approximately 40 additional passenger journeys in January and February (a very successful pilot study!). So we are happy to announce the success of the trial secured additional funding to run both buses for five days a week.

The service is for people in our area who have difficulty accessing public transport. The bus will pick you up at your home and drop you off to do your shopping in Tavistock, meet friends, keep appointments etc and return you home within two hours approximately.

For further information and to see if the Ring and Ride service suits you please call Diane or Wendy on 01822 618028 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and we will be pleased to book a seat for you.
