The current 38 runs every hour so proves there's no longer a demand. Can't see Deptford chopping the 2/2a day times from ryhope and Silksworth or even going to the metrocentre. Perhaps have an x1a every hour from pick tree / galleries/team valley/Newcastle . There's no demand from Washington to the metrocentre. X88 is a ghost bus on weekends
The X88 has always been different to most other services. First 2 or 3 runs of the day can often be busy to the Metrocentre, but you'll be lucky to carry one passenger back. Coming back from the Metrocentre to Washington, the last 2 or 3 runs of the day are often busy, but you're not taking many people at all towards the Metrocentre.
