"If you'd like to stand with us to help wipe out this year's deficit of £150k, you can give on line..."
Responding to news of the deficit, Twitter user Emma Sivyer said: "Wow - that's a big hole to fill. Why the deficit?".

Fellow Twitter user, James Stevens said: "An extra £5 on everyone's ticket would have massively reduced the deficit, but it would also reduce affordability for many."
