I think its main use is for Team Valley Royal Mail staff to get in for shifts but it was really useful to myself especially as it ran earlier than any of the normal service buses (even Transport staff need transport to get to work). Coming back home its not an issue for anyone to do as its just one change and plenty of ways home.Ditto the later morning 91's.
Usage may have changed with Covid but it definitely wasn't the fresh air carrier its made out to be
Tried them a couple of times when doing some work at TVTE four or five years back. Picked it up from the Odeon and there was always a decent load there and Market St.
They tried it commercially circa late 2000's using Team Valley Dipper branded DAF's, running most of the day. It didn't work.
