(14 Oct 2021, 4:59 pm)stagecoachbusdepot It does seem they have done it just to have 'something' serving the new City Hall site rather than a real attempt to make it more accessible to commuters etc (Service 20 offering links to only a small proportion of the city).  Arguably with that in mind would have made more sense to reverse the loop, addressing the issue of access to Vine Place etc.


Indeed and doing it that way wouldn’t be stopping a link that has been in place for many years (the 20 previously running inbound via Holmeside and outbound via Crowtree Leisure Centre).

Obvious argument against doing it that way would be that people have their shopping at that point so possibly better to have a shorter walk for those heading home afterwards.

Not convinced it’s really born from passenger requests but interesting nevertheless.
