I think it's a little more than just that...

I think you meant the 10B.

Firstly, this would add about three miles to a round trip. At 12mph, that's 15 minutes; so that would need at least 1 additional bus on the PVR.

Next, there's the small matter of convincing local residents not to park their cars on the traffic calming islands (Google earth image of MPD on Broomhouse Road):

Then, rerouting the bus would HALVE the frequency of buses at the town's busiest stops on Front Street and at Waterworld.

Residents on Station Road would find their bus journey taking a further eight minutes as it loops round the town, and people at Low Prudhoe wouldn't have a bus to the Front Street.

Sadly, these things are never simple...
