Surely the aim of the game is to inform non-passenger of these changes too?
Putting leaflets and brochures in places where passengers go, is all well and good - but if they're wanting to increase numbers and use the changes for a positive (rather than cut costs), then those who would be positively affected by these changes - need to know about them.
The people of Catchgate need to know there's a quicker bus to Newcastle. Then, if that's where they are wanting to go, they know there's now a quicker, potentially more attractive alternative.
Ditto for those in Murton and needing to get to Durham and the more frequent offer available.
