Do you really think that the reductions would take place if that was the case? The only thing I see busy on Saturdays is the local car parks, since Middlesbrough Council decided in their wisdom to offer free parking! I bet that has taken a huge hit on Arriva and Stagecoach.

I suspect a 7/8 minute frequency on Service 27 for example, may be sufficient for Monday to Fridays where people go shopping and work, but Saturdays the passenger numbers assumingly are lower, they have chosen to reduce to a 10 minute frequency. Not exactly end of the world.
