(4 hours ago)tvd wrote The current timings of the 1 / 2 depend which you use - if you're coming from Easington, Loftus Zetland road or Liverton Mines you get into Skelton on the service 1 for example at 09:36 and can get the 2 back from there at 10:46, so that's pretty good.
Of course that doesn't suit everyone, if you have to walk to the bank top side of Loftus with shopping, but that's just another example of not being able to please everyone.
Aye that's true, forgot about the opposite route.
Imo, from a council point of view, the best way to get buses serving ASDA would be to deal with the ownership issues in the industrial estate. If they can take ownership of the roads, which I'm sure the industrial estate wouldn't be bothered about, then you could easily just have a 5/5A one going via the ASDA and the other as now tbh.
I'm sure Arriva would jump at the chance to run through there.
