It used to be treated as their flagship route with the articulated buses and loads of marketing about it being non stop and connecting to loads of other services etc. Now it has buses on it that aren't suitable for the route because of the capacity, isn't non stop and doesn't get "plugged" very much GNE.
Why has it declined so much?
Lack of cash fares?
I would guess the majority of punters have already bought a ticket of some sort on an previous bus and with the business model being aligned in such a way, isn't going to be much of a revenue earner.
Picking up CAT passes to/from asda and IKEA is one way to add revenue I suppose.
Fairly limited without it.
