They run it all stops on other sections. When I suggested it they said it was Stagecoach's job to provide a service on Durham Road!! Arriva's ancestors always ran down Durham Road!
Yes why don't Arriva run all stops when the least demand is there, on Sundays and Evenings...
I'm actually glad Arriva told you it is Stagecoach's job to provide the evening service, given that they are the commercial daytime operator, as that in my view is more than a reasonable response. Ian, you don't even live there so why are you bothered about the stopping arrangements at times when nobody is around anyway ? Or is it just your rejection of everything Arriva in general? I suspect the latter !
Even if they consider enough demand, at a bare minimum they would go all stops Mon-Sat daytime first ? The fact they don't, suggests that the 58 already caters for the majority and by stopping all stops on the X1 would simply delay the service rather than improve it.
