Great to see a project like this get off the ground, but a crying shame that they've been abandoned in the first place.

There was never that many passengers boarding in Brafferton when service 5A used to go round there also it was tricky trying to get Pulsars and Enviro 400s round the tight twisty roads.

It's not the only part of Darlington to be cut off because of council cuts and Arriva only serving main roads, I imagine the people of Sadberge and Neasham will end up using this by soon as I can't see the Scarlet Band service 20 still running this time next year as the passenger numbers are woeful.
