Any feedback to this is well appreciated.Thank you
Both services used to run every 30 mins, so 15 min combined frequency, for years. Then in 2017 they reduced the 6 to hourly, giving a 20 mins combined frequency. In 2022 they curtailed both services back to the Freeman, halved the frequency on the 7 - giving the now hourly service on both routes, and messed around with the diversions around West Denton Park/Dumpling Hall replacing other Nexus contracts. Managed decline as ever.
