There's no demand for more services, bus companies can't be forced to serve places built in the wrong place and sending other buses there will piss passengers off as no-one wants a merry go round drive around a business park for 10 minutes. There's also the 39A/39B from the West which most people could connect to.
It's not an easy fix but sending every bus around there on a 10 minute detour isn't the answer either. Mind there should be some works service from the South I agree with but there's the old council boundary problem there.
But very little for anyone else. Including those who live within a few miles of the site.
The same problem that exists across the region with these employment sites.
Again, it's not necessarily about creating a million new routes, diverting existing services up and down every street or using resource that isn't there.
It's about being imaginative and utilising the resource in a more efficient manner.
A manner which encourages people to make a modal switch and do it in a cost effective manner.
After all, operators want people to make the switch to bus don't they?
