I guess GNE could argue that the 4 is still in place every 10 minutes and passengers can easily connect to the Silver Arrows or walk to the nearest stop (must be about 3 or 4 minutes if you live in the middle of Station Road?)
Re-routing via Washington Highway and connecting back onto the usual route once you reach the turn-off for Fatfield Bridge would take 7 minutes, compared to the current 3.
A difference of 4 minutes in either direction... Not sure if it would work or not if the service was designed to be every 15 mins combined again.
