For reference, the left is the current X21 route, the right is the 'old' x21 route when it terminated at Tindale Tesco. They basically took the 18 route and extended it to Tesco. Then it was withdrawn and what would become the 9 was put out for tender.
I think it could be good for Arriva to go for the contract for the 9 and basically reinstate the old route, sans the stupid loop bit around Sainsburys that caused me no end of trouble with a particular driver refusing to go all the way to Tesco!
