I guess the rationale for interworking is to cut down on driver and vehicle requirements, but it is not delivering a reliable service and furthers the IMO justifiable franchising cause.
Yeah totally agreed. To be honest it's the sort of the area I'd kinda say BSIP should be used but in return Arriva has to offer more.
Such as adding 1 extra bus then do:
X7: PVR 5, additionally serves Tillmouth Avenue
X8: PVR 5, additionally serves Sandringham Drive
X9: PVR 5, no changes
X10/X11: PVR 9, Flip X10/X11 one serves railway station, other does something else go in via Ogle Drive maybe?
