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.Maybe they will get their wish again soon!
It's the same with the 78 and Pelaw Bank/Pelton Fell.
Apparently sending the 78 via Pelaw Bank is due to them acting on passenger feedback.
Despite those passengers also having the option of using/changing on to the 8 or 34.
Meanwhile, passengers in Pelton Fell shared their feedback and were ignored.
Not only did they lose the twice hourly 78, they lost the 28 and 28a until DCC stepped in.
