The wording in the consultation suggests even Stagecoach aren't totally sure about that one. We'll see. I've already spoken to a couple of councillors who are flabbergasted. Buses Bill can't come soon enough!
Councillors are professional flabbergasters to be fair
I honestly don't think the changes are all that out there. It's obvious the network has been left because it's the same revenue generating shell network that Busways and the PTE set up. Fast forward 20 odd years and it needs reviewing. More hub and spoke than direct link (GNE did this years ago and continue to do it. At least stagecoahchave far cheaper day tickets!)
The 62/63 chanages are a big big change but there's going to be alternatives, it's not like they are abandoning Fenham Hall Drive.
Buses bill isn't going to do anything differently aside massively increase pressure on taxpayers to continue funding unsustainable routes.
