which spoons?

Are we saying that this area has subsidised bus services?  Is a railway from fencehouse going to make people jump from car to train/metro/tram/driverless bus?  Doubt it. 

York? Thirsk? Northallerton might have one now.

And yeah, Nexus (possibly DCC) fund the 71.
The increase in housing in the area vs the drop in bus services over the year (including direct buses to Newcastle) doesn't add up.
Either the bus services don't take people where they need to be or the people don't leave their houses. 
If there was an alternative, it might be the case that people leave their houses.
