I don't want to travel through the rest of Washington, purely because it works best for the bus operator to run that way in order to provide a service. That's precisely the thing you've accused operators of doing.
If that already busy bus happens to be scheduled to roll through Crowther as the 2 units end their shift of 15 people, then there's a bit of a Brucey Bonus if those 6 staff who live in Biddick, Portmeads, Birtley and Chester jump on and pay their fares!
The operator is quids in, the punters can get home in fairly quick time and it all shows what can be achieved when a plan comes together!
