Thank you, First Minister, for your reply. Both the Welsh Government and Transport for Wales have rightfully said that no child should be left behind or have to change the pattern of their important return to education. But we do have a situation where Transport for Wales have made a number of changes to the Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury service, and the effects have meant that students in Montgomeryshire have had their travel to Shrewsbury disrupted, for education purposes. In fairness to Transport for Wales, they've put a number of bus services on, but often those are not viable because there are extended journey times and often the buses arrive after the beginning of courses. Now, as I understand it, the cancellation seems to be in regard to concern over staff safety on some of those services.

This does continue to be quite distressing for younger people, and I am sure you will agree with me that it's an anxious time for young people as they return to school and college. I'd be grateful if you could discuss this situation with your colleagues and see how Transport for Wales can indeed be supported by the Government in order to reinstate some of these services for younger people, for their education in Shrewsbury.
