Asda to End All Free Bus Services from Dec 31?

Hearing rumours that Asda are withdrawing funding from all the free buses serving their stores from the end of the month.

If you've been meaning to 'do' any you may only have a few days left (travel subject to any Covid restrictions, of course).

That must be the source of the thread I saw on Facebook from Blackwood Councillors.

Most Asda free services were withdrawn last year. Only a few remained where they were well used.

That's what Compass Bus are saying, though they have opted to continue their 900 service in Crawley commercially (and added a return journey on route 62 as well). Changes take effect from 4th January.
