Cabinet Secretary, there is a local campaign calling for the reinstatement of a bus service from St Dogmaels in my constituency to Cardigan, which has recently been axed and replaced with a new route that sees the final bus back from Cardigan to St Dogmaels now at 4.24 p.m. I'm sure you will recognise the difficulties that this can present for the local community, and I appreciate the Welsh Government can't be involved in micromanaging bus services, but what specific work are you and your officials doing, working with local authorities like Pembrokeshire and like Ceredigion, to find workable, realistic solutions that actually can meet the needs of local, rural communities?
