It may only be a two minute walk, but there'll be plenty people wait for the Stagecoach bus coming into Quorum instead. This was indeed something raised by a few people when Arriva done the launch, and it's mainly due to pedestrians having to negotiate several sets of traffic light to get across.
The reliability issue is not enough resource in the timetable, not because it has to swing round Quorum.
I certainly wont be walking to the Quorum Business Park Entrance to catch the X7/X8 in the Evening after I finish work, when the chances are an X63 will go past me half way anyways, as is always the case whenever I get a Bus anywhere.
With regards to the Launch of the X7/X8 on the Quorum, has it served much purpose since in terms of passengers numbers rising, I can honestly say I havent noticed a difference, either way with upwards of 800+ Staff from Sitel & Greggs all moving over to the Quorum in the coming months I would certainly argue there is more than enough demand for the X7/X8 to serve the Quorum, even if it was only during the Morning (6am to 10am) then Evening (3pm to 7pm), similar to how the 555 operates.
