They reckon it could take an hour though. I'm pretty sure the Red Arrow service does it in half the time, and is already every 10 mins. I'd rather see the council use the money to subsidise the fares on it.

We kicked and screamed for a Wearside Metro extension, and most parts ended up getting shafted. Surrounding areas lost services, because the Metro was now taking a lot of the footfall. X2, X4 and X85 springs to mind.
