Also then the fact Bishopton is in Darlington Borough Council area not Stockton yet everybody in the village wants to go to Stockton (it also makes a journey from Stillington to Stockton longer as it takes 10 minutes from Stillington to Redmarshall via Bishopton, 5 minutes longer than via Whitton).
Had a feeling it wouldn't be many people using it especially since Arriva changed the route to Stillington to run via Hartburn when the cuts happened (then swiftly cut Stillington too).
At least they will have a service should the 20 end, which I think it will as it has pitiful passenger numbers when I've seen it in Darlington.
