As for the other comments. That's a barrier which needs to be overcome. I've said it elsewhere with other operators, that they need to think creatively. Storx mentioned one idea, which would also involve opening up new links. I'm not saying that would be the answer or solution, but it's more creative than saying it would need the timetable re-working or it would end up doubling back on itself.
I think operators really need to get out of that mindset and look for solutions, so that public transport is more attractive - regardless of class or social standing.
On a slightly different note, it would be interesting to see what ANE said and what pressure they put on Highways England when the plans for the Stannington improvements were first made public. Specifically the impact the changes could have on their passengers in the Stannington area and how cut off they're likely to be.
