A few weeks ago, I stood at Park Lane for about 30-40 minutes and observed the loadings of the Prince Bishops 20/20A... That was on a Saturday.
I'll do the same at Durham when I next go, and then I'll do the same with the Laser.
I can't say the results I got were overly great (considering 3 OAPs = 1 passenger).
Why are you shouting everyone down over this, I use the 20 about 10 times a week (Board Inn-Interchange, Houghton-Belmont, Durham-Sunderland etc.) I'd class my self as fairly regular passenger, you've admitted you don't use the 20 all to often so see it at park Lane a few times you happen to be passing but you now somewhat think that your opinion is superior over mine, Andreos1, and few others who have agreed with us. Why not take everyone's opinion on board instead of trying to prove everyone else wrong to prove you're right, we have no idea why the 35 would be put ahead of the 20 for upgrade; it could be argued the 35's have more potentional passengers due running two quite different routes (35/35A). However who's to say that the 20 and 35 may receive investment this year? We just don't know at this stage. I've given instance of the 20 loading at different points in the route however your Saturday observation at the termination point appears to be what you thinking we should al be be taken note of much more than my opinion.
