Medi-link extension

The 63 and 65 country bus services to the Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) were withdrawn in August 2014. They provided people living in the villages of South Nottinghamshire and the Soar Valley with direct and easy access to the Queen’s Medical Centre and through the Medi-link service with a quick connection to Nottingham City Hospital. The service was used by patients and hospital visitors as well as staff. As a result of the withdrawal, people now have to go to the centre of the city and change to another bus to get them to QMC. This doubles the journey time (at least) and prolongs what could be an ordeal. Even the new tram service from Clifton Park & Ride will not provide a direct service to the QMC.

In the villages the numbers of elderly people with their attendant health problems are increasing and they need easy access to local hospitals
Personally I relied on the number 63 to get to work and now I face more time and expense.
