Not sure if it was a reasonable justification or even if there's much of a demand to go around the world, when the hospital is just down the road.
But I think it would be difficult to remove without some sort of outcry or replacement imo.
Yeah I think I recall something like that being mentioned one time. If by some chance my service suggestions for the 2/2A were to be implented it would maintain the link from Silksworth to the Hospital with two buses an hour, and four buses an hour to Sunderland which I think would be fair. I don't mind certain villages having a direct link to certain places but I do find it unfair when its at the expense of other places having little or no service, or having to go around the world in 80 days to get to where they need or want to be. For a long time it has seemed certain villages get what they ask for while others get nothing. For example, I remember a few years ago when the old M2/3 were reduced from every 10 minutes combined to every 15 minutes. I'm sure the people of Lambton and Ayton complained and shortly after GNE ran extra short journeys from The Galleries to Ayton and back.
