PHONE-IN
Faced with the "nightmare" of losing its local bus service, residents of a Perthshire village decided to take over the route themselves. The 55 Glenfarg to Kinross service was axed earlier this year after its operators Earnside Coaches retired. But thanks to a group of volunteers and the recruitment of three full-time drivers, the service is back and proving more popular than ever. It now runs an hourly daily service six days a week, starting at 07:10. Glenfarg Community Transport Group said the 55 service now enjoys about 300 passenger journeys per week, an increase of 200 on last year.
