Not only Scotland
Many routes have been abandoned in Royal Mail efficiency drives, and Wales’ last three postbuses are due to end over the next few weeks.
Post buses are not unique to the UK and are also found in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. But now Royal Mail insists they make less and less financial sense here.
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "All the routes being withdrawn have very low passenger numbers and the subsidies available do not make them financially viable.
So looks like Royal Mail are putting higher profits ahead of its service to rural communities.
