Oh dear, we finally see what everybody in York with any sense knew would happen – the begining of the end of the ftr (Off the road, The Press, May 9).

This is the ftr being withdrawn from service at weekends and evenings. After all the money spent on roads on the number 4 route, what a waste. Is it any wonder the man in the street has no faith in our so-called leaders?
