If I can stand at Kyle of Lochalsh Bus Stance to see if the three times a day service over the Skye is on time. Why can't I see if the 10 is on time at Crawcrook?
Why do you think people let the less frequent services go by then? What possible reason is there for NEXUS to show the 21 and 25 separately on Durham Road in to Newcastle?
It's pure laziness
People on a corridor that has a frequent service rock up and are conditioned to get the newer, more frequent colourful bus vs the older, smaller less frequent one.
They rock up and don't look at the timetable.
It's marketing that works for the 21 and 56 but has a negative knock on effect to owt else that is unfortunate to run a minute or two in front of it. Just look at the withdrawal list and funded services that's fallen out of it.
