Only real change is the 23 is only going to be Thorney Close to Holmeside this is due to unavoidable time constraints associated with the length of the pronounced diversionary routes until around 1900.

Tbh they had no choice, it was either let it run but with massive delays and gaps in the service or cut it to keep it on time.

A few year ago they ran a shuttle service during the 10k. My grandad will be stuck in the house on those days now.
