Polly has reacted with disappointment to the announcement by National Express that they plan to cut the 07 Thanet to London coach route, and called on Kent County Council to work with the coach company to find a solution.
She said:
“This is a deeply disappointing decision that will have a detrimental impact on Thanet’s visitor economy and leave my constituents reliant on expensive trains to get to London.
“Areas like Thanet already suffer from poor transport connections that prevent people from accessing jobs and opportunities. At a time when we’ve started to make progress turning that around, scrapping these coach routes is a step in the wrong direction. National Express and Kent County Council need to work together to find a solution.”
