Commercial business starts commercial route with commercial risk and sets own commercial criteria.
You’d think they’d just converted the 21 to Solos or that dozens of people will be forever trapped in (insert awful north east town or city here) because a once a day, yes once a day, bus won’t pick them up and they might have to use one of the other regular services instead.
Btw, I passed the 28 today and it was operated by a Coast and Country bus, I was in Wrekenton, neither near the coast or country. I don’t know how I’ll get past this sheer mockery. Dan....I demand resignations ?
Is anal the right word?
For years, members of this forum (and elsewhere) have pushed for new links, for new routes and for operators to do something beyond the norm.
Eventually, the X11 comes along and it appears nothing more than a wet cabbage leaf and a standard 'we tried, you didn't use it' ploy.
You know the score when organisations launch new products or a new range.
You know Greggs wouldn't go half arsed in to an item which was only on offer for a small proportion of the day and you know they would look at grabbing every opportunity they could to make the launch and the product a commercial success. The sort of success that could launch similar products which please customers and make the business money. Rather than shrinking back to the same old.
If they did go back to the same old, we would be stuck with products that were selling in 1986. Not 2021.
As much as I loved Russian cake and a jap cake, my tastes and habits have evolved, just like most people's travel habits have
