Unless the Great Park is filling the buses up (which it doesn't), then running a 20 minute bus service against a 7.5 minute bus service which is very well used is probably not the best idea. The buses are pretty much empty as they are anyway.

In an ideal world it should be split back at Newcastle and renumbered the 42 and ran every 15 minutes in tandem with the 43/44/45 which are struggling with capacity to give a bus every 5 minutes vs 7.5 minutes + 20 minutes with tickets accepted between both, but that's a different story.
