It's an interesting discussion point, I don't know. It'd be nice but not sure it would really be feasible in most areas, not without a lot of duplications or sending existing buses on a merry go round everywhere to make it work.
It's only 5 minute walk 400m, which isn't too bad really, if there's elderly people unable to travel that far you'd be better looking at alternatives imo, ie taxi vouchers or dare I say some form of DRT but using cars instead and you call someone and they take the pensioners where they want to go for a nominal fee. I want to say there's already charities who do it anyway, but I could be wrong.
