Don't disagree with your point though, for what they are spending, they could have done much more if they worked with Arriva, but by all accounts, this was a local councillor pushing agenda that simply went to tender rather than understanding opportunities.

Sorry wasn't clear there, I meant subsidise the extension on the end of the X3 rather than it been done commercially. It'll be cheaper overall anyway. 

But aye agreed, hopefully in the future they can work to come to something better rather than a rather infrequent 2 hourly service which isn't exactly ideal. I'm not sure what the timing difference is between getting to ASDA and leaving but 99% of people don't need that amount of time especially when the store doesn't have a cafe.
