It's hung around for a good while now and whilst not perfect, it does what it needs to for those people who don't have an alternative.
Tbf, the entire Nexus network around Houghton should be looked at.
Not just the 168.
Whether that be short, cross-town links like you mention, or combining things like the 79 with the 168.
