I FULLY endorse the proposal for the north-south express Link cross borough bus services as mentioned in your paper (Last call for the cross-borough trudge, the Uxbridge Leader, July 1).

As a long-term resident of South Ruislip and a regular user of local public transport, I agree with the advantages mentioned.

For instance, at present the journey to Hillingdon Hospital from my area involves more than one bus, or two buses and a train, and is consequently very time consuming.

To travel on one express bus would provide much easier and quicker accessibility to the hospital, and would afford a favourable alternative for car users, thereby relieving the extremely problematical parking situation at Hillingdon Hospital.
