I'm not sure if any sort of 'guarantee' exists, but I can confirm the existence of a vociferous lobby determined to retain (and, if possible, add more) links between Barley Mow/Birtley and the Q.E. Hospital. A number of residents from Kibblesworth and Allerdene are as equally committed to keeping their public transport links.
Any changes to services in these areas would have to take into consideration the views of these groups.
