I bet half of those signatures are from people who don't even use it...
I use the 36 but it all depends on what time i start and finish work, so some days i use it and some days i don't so i won't be signing it....
If a route isn't making a profit, it won't survive....
Unless they're using some sort of marketing speak, it's making a profit.
passenger numbers on the route are too low for it to be kept in its ‘current form’.
They're still sending services on each and every section of the route. In its entirety.
Apart from one - the section from Fencehouses Front Street - Houghton via Dairy Lane. I'd suggest the only reason they're doing that, is because they're culling the 238 between Houghton and Barnwell and need something to plug a small section on Burnside Estate.
If they wanted to spin the news in a positive light, they could have easily come up with something better than they have done.
