I wonder if Preston Bus are considering adding a new bus stop in, which could add some value for passengers?

I also wonder how those on Kingsfold will react to it? At school starting and finishing times it won't attract the high number of schoolkids the 3 route attracts. But the 3 provides a link from Kingsfold to Tesco, which is useful for shoppers.

Another thing is what use is that cross-city link? It doesn't serve the university, the hospital or Preston College. So is there another reason why it might attract cross-city journeys?

It does serve the Railway Station which is the logical advantage.
