I remember when we were told in no uncertain terms, that it was way more profitable than the 20.
Then, suddenly, without warning, GNE proposed to somehow change the fortunes of it and extend the 20 to Shields. The passengers who responded to the consultation rejected those proposals, but it was forced through a year later and not too long afterwards, the 20 ended up with new vehicles.
Since then, the allocation of the 35 has gone from brand new Mercs, to Solars then a mixed fleet and now a reduced frequency.
I'd be quite concerned if I was looking at what the 35 apparently was to what it is now and the what's seems like a continued retraction in frequency, status and quality.
