Yeah, it's always about the people who lose a frequent direct link and have to change to another frequent service to complete the journey, yet you never seem to hear about say people trying to get from School Aycliffe to Darlington who now have to walk to Heighington or get the Town Bus to Aycliffe Town Centre then another bus to Darlington and have a limited number of journeys a day on weekdays only. Yet no it's a few people who hate having to change buses in a major transport hub, although I did moan when Arriva stopped service 7 running to Framwellgate Moor although this was more because the 64 is always late, the buses are manky and they aren't big enough to meet the demand of New College students and school kids.
