LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
LOCAL COMPANY?
The website for Lothian Buses has been down for some time today, preventing me from accessing online timetable information for an intended journey early tomorrow. And their published enquiry number for bus times isn't answering. That's annoying - but I'll cope by driving instead!
However, what is astounding to discover (having been rendered obvious by the nature of the technical problem) is that lothianbuses.com is hosted in Germany by a German company (Kundenserver in Karlsruhe). Further probing shows that their (working) flybybus.com site is hosted by another German company - Schlund also in Karlsruhe). Considering that there are any number of competent IT companies in Edinburgh (not to mention the rest of Scotland) who would be more than capable of providing a locally hosted and managed web site to match the locally owned and managed Lothian Buses, why haven't they been given the opportunity?
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
