Saw him today getting of a 2 at the town hall.
It was a full and standing MPD!

Maybe Diamond should look at taking a few risks & try increasing the frequencies of some town services that show potential for growing passenger numbers, whilst still MPD's. Thus keeping the larger Darts for longer distance/less frequent routes

I should probably add that most of the passengers had grey hair...

Even so, First have run down the KR operation for years and people who would normally pay cash will have found alternatives. A frequency increase & longer operating hours may start to tempt some of those people back on to the buses along with further OAP's

I couldn't agree more. I think it is time to go back to MPDs and up the frequency. Then with ridership increases bigger and better buses can be put on and the buses will then be more full.i reckon it is worth at old lijks that have been lost to see if the traffic flows of those roures are still important.
