THANK you N.A.T for taking the St Julian’s route. I can now get on the bus at Oak Street, get off at the Market Square, walk a few yards and get the X24 to Cwmbran.
Then, when I come back, I can get the X24 back and walk a few yards to get the St Julian’s bus home. 
This is much easier, for us golden oldies, than trying to cross two dangerous roads, Skinner Street and Corn Street, with heavy bags and trollies to get to Friars Walk. 
The same, when I want to go to the market and High Street – just get off the bus, cross the road to do my shopping at the market, High Street and Tesco’s, and then cross back over to get the bus. Simple and easy, which is how us golden oldies like it. 
Let us have more competition on transport to encourage the public to use it, instead of clogging the roads with cars.
