I FEEL I have to write in reply to the letter (“Youngsters are a disgrace on my bus”, December 1) regarding behaviour of youngsters.

I live in Ashurst and on more than one occasion have got on the no 6 bus from Lymington at 13.19. This is usually standing room only as it is full of Brockenhurst students but before I have received my ticket from the driver I am shown to a seat that had been vacated, never once have I had to stand.

They are never noisy and do not talk loudly on their phones as some older people do.

These students are a credit to the college.
