One of the reasons for the increasing amount of car usage for people using out of town retail parks is the lack of luggage storage space on modern buses. I prefer to use the bus when I visit Dalton Park but if my purchase is something larger than a pair of shoes the bus just has no space to stow my luggage.
I guess the operators have to balance luggage space against extra seating capacity but placing a Metro Newspaper tray over the luggage rack does not help either.
