Services 56-59 and X12 pass nearby and a diversion would not be a problem at all. It's not as if the jobs are high paying, so public transport would be a massive bonus and be gratefully patronised.
A lot of the Integra 61 development and planning pre-dates when I moved to and started to get involved in the area, but I know that there were active conversations between the County Councillors (at the time) and an operator, but that the operator preferred to stick with a 'watching brief' rather than commit to serving the site.
There have been a number of actions taken on the A688 and the Jn 61 roundabout above the A1 to benefit such a move, but sadly a lack of commercial initiative to take it that one step further.
