There's no reason for people to travel into the area as there's not particular any reason for people to go to Redcar. If Middlesbrough's numbers are down the same percentage then you could say that.
I'm not defending Arriva (as they're nowhere near perfect if even good) but for all we know the numbers on the 62/64 might be down from Grangetown etc to Redcar but up towards Middlesbrough where people have found new jobs.
Of course.
However, with cutting services, the network reducing and fares increasing - the argument could be that theyve not looked to replace that market lost with SSI/BS.
Where have they looked to grow an existing market or exploit an new market in an effective manner in the R&C area since SSI/BS and Viva changes?
