But with the amount of first time buyer initiatives and affordable housing, you'd expect to see a lot of young families moving into these estates. I'm not expecting huge crowds to suddenly start using it, but you may start to get a handful of kids/teens using the service.
I'd looked to move to Northside myself, but the lack of bus services was the key factor in me not moving there. It's a long way to walk uphill in bad weather.
