During the day there is little demand. Also note the picture of the two Webberbus vehicles; they are waiting at traffic lights to get out, which equals extra delay. The stop is also on the inbound side of the main road, with most buses only going to the bus station or parade. Students won't pay for something that is an easy walk.<br /><br />During the day the stop is used for Stagecoach 99 and Webberbus 38 as their terminus and looped into from the hospital by Webberbus 15 and 18, but not 12. Morning and evening it is busy with College special routes and extensions.<br /><br />The additional journey time even inbound is simply not worth it for the number of passengers who are basically all able bodied. Out bound, looping in and out would be so slow due to the delay caused by traffic lights both in and out of the forecourt. Thankfully the 22 goes straight past, which is what the majority want and the students walk up the road. Bridgwater college is the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
