using which vehicles? to the detriment of people waiting for 21s that have already not turned up?

it's a 5 minute walk from the stop at the foot of Harras Bank to the school, and any bus would have to pass Birtley centre anyway. if children are getting off the bus two stops early to visit shops, that then becomes a timekeeping issue for the children.
