With many computers on this route employed in call centres and retail their choice won’t just be on price and journey times they will no doubt need to consider Sunday and evening service availability.
Totally agree.
However, I think what lets ANE down, are the links to Doxford Park.
They are none existent, despite services trundling along through Ryhope from East Durham.
A service into Doxford Park (even at peaks) from East Durham or connecting to services through Ryhope, can only add to numbers.
Hey, even staff at Arriva Towers could get one of their own to work!
