Re. the x24a, would it add that much on to the timetable to be able to serve all the stops on Chester road and still serve doxford park?
I am on it at the moment and it seemed to take an age to get from its last stop on Chester road to Doxford via the a690.
Could it not go via Hastings hill, then southbound onto the a19 into Doxford and then back northbound on the a19 again?  It doesn't seem to me like that would any slower.
