How do villages get cut off?

When a bus service, like Egginton's V2 Villager, is withdrawn, it can severely cut off a village. Residents without cars may struggle to access essential services like shops, doctors, or employment in nearby towns. This isolation can impact quality of life, social inclusion, and economic opportunities for those living in rural areas.
