Definitely not. That would screw over a LOT of passengers. I basically travel on the full bus route for my day to day activities, (Walker Road-Monkchester Road to Four Lane Ends), and noticed most passengers also either stay on the entire route or get on at Heaton Road and stay on all the way to Four Lane Ends. I've noticed a few times, there's passengers on before me and still on when I get off at Four Lane Ends. Apart from the daft allocations options, the 18 is absolutely fine how it is.
