The 18 route puzzles me. Why have gilley law as a destination when it’s off down the seafront first. Who on earth is going to ride that from fawcett st to gilley law via seaburn. 18 and 99 need axing pointless routes.
I don't think the idea of the 18 is to take passengers the full route. Every time I've been on it takes a handful of passengers from the likes of Pallion to Southwick or Seaburn. Im sure it only terminates at Gilley Law so the link to the hospital was maintained when the 5/5A was withdrawn.
