Personally I wouldn't be surprised if the 35 is redirected through it as soon as the link road opens, if we're talking about the Philidelphia development, it's quicker and has more potential for demand as there's next to nothing on the current route around there.
How do you see Great Park as a dead end? There's ample routes for buses to go in and around the development. The X47 is even using the new spine road that was opened recently, providing connectivity to Kingston Park.
Yes, I tend to agree on the 35. The turning at Herrington Burn is a bit of an awkward position for a stop (on both sides).
