As for South Bents well it's tight for a bus to get round at times but to cut them off is a disgrace. Mainly older people there and will struggle to walk to the coast road!
All it needed was more time in the timetable for the current 18 and 19 to work... But yet again profits before customers...
But more time would mean an extra bus, costing £100k+ a year. i would guess the 18/19 struggles to cover its costs as it is without adding extra costs which would make the whole service completely unsustainable. At least this way the majority of the route continues to be served, hopefully in a more sustainable way
As for South Bents, I'm sure Stagecoach will have told Nexus how many passengers travel from there. Nexus could have easily served it by diverting the 558, so no extra cost to the taxpayer, but have chosen not to which suggests Stagecoach's decision is correct and is hardly a disgrace
