I picked a random location in Penshaw and a random site at Doxford Park. Whacked it in to Google maps and got this:
It's a 5mile journey and assuming connections work, some of those options are taking just shy of an hour.
Public transport is never going to win in those situations, numbers are going to continue to fall and road infrastructure is going to continue having millions spent on it.
Ah yes, because an interchange or town/city centre is an obscure place. Got it.
If you drove the 39 route it would take about half an hour also. So with that conclusion I’m assuming you want a direct bus from penshaw to doxford park picking up no one but you? Buses have routes for a reason, at the end of the day you’d still get there. It’s literally not a difficult job to change bus.
