As for your previous comment about drivers not being happy - I am guessing that you probably don't understand the politics behind it.
By what I can gather, the rota that these services are on at the moment will have a reduced amount of work allocated to it. The concern from drivers is that this has happened several times now, which to them would suggest that the rota will disappear completely in time. This would mean that they'd have to be allocated to a different rota - one with different (or a larger number of) services.
I wouldn't say it has been replaced, I would say passengers have been suggested other services which follow or near enough follow the same route.
I would also suggest you are incorrect on the second point, five of the seven or so drivers I have seen sharing it I know all live on or close to the route of the 11, and understand the people need to use it....
Maybe if the service hadn't been complicated last year, it would have stood a chance. But, that's just my opinion.
