I have some sympathy for the council to be honest.

The "usual" thing to do would be to pay Arriva for an extra bus on the 5 to serve Skinningrove and another extra bus to serve Liverton and Moorsholm.

Rightly or wrongly, they decided "sod that" we'll serve these places a different way with a fixed route service.

Wished other local authorities would do the same to be honest instead of just replacing like with like, as only one party usually benefits. The operators chucking in the route to begin with as they already know how much it will cost!
