I'd made similar point, when they originally pulled the commercial services out of Washington Village. 

It'd take marginally less time for the 8 to divert off and serve The Avenue, Village Lane and Abbey Road, than it did doing the back and forth down to Brady Square. You'd only be omitting two stops in the process, which are served by the 4.

Barmston Ct is the anomaly. It's incredibly difficult to serve without going back on yourself to do so, unless it acts as a terminus. It's likely that which will keep a secured 82/82A/83 in place.
