Death of Driving in Sunday times ?

[rodbin]

I settled down to my favourite Sunday past time to read the Sunday times skipped all the world shattering news and features on trumps hair colour to find the Driving section. Relegated to The magazine section, I skipped through to find it in its usual place after food reviews , must have missed it searched again perhaps it had its own section no, perhaps in another edition, no. So I contacted the Sunday times chat as I was sure it must be somewhere. After 5 minutes of searching Jamie agreed it was not there, after another wait this is what he said "The driving section was reduced to make room for other content in direct response from our subscribers and readers" I pointed out that it had not been reduced it was removed I got the same answer back. Can readers of the Sunday times Driving that have requested they drop the driving section in preference of articles on how will Lyons keeps quaffing or Blogger Belle Gibson fooled the world with healthy eating please come forward
For those like me who are devastated at the possible removal of Driving please let the times know

So what advertising revenue do they get from Will Lyons quaffing Is not the job of a paper to give us stuff we want to read. Will be interesting to their response to my direct question on how they substantiate "The direct response from readers"

I eventually did get a reply

Dear Rodney,

I'm sorry the motoring content was missing from January 7 edition. I'm assured that it was an isolated event (to make way for New Year fitness coverage) and the pages will be restored from this weekend (Sunday, Jan 14) onwards.

Thank you again for taking the trouble to write and I'm delighted you to hear you are a reader of the Driving pages.

Kind regards,

Nick Rufford
Driving editor

Perhaps they should give a health warning if you read the Driving section
