Exactly. It reminds of me of something I saw about the Settle to Carlisle line where BR closed most of the stations, reduced services and then seemed surprised that the line had fewer passengers.

There are gaps of 90 minutes between departures from Manchester in the evening peak. Anyone working in wilmslow has only got one bus towards macc after 5pm and a bus north at 1718 and then 1905. Not much use if you finish work at 5.30 or 6 is it?
It's the same from Macc if I finish work at 5 I have got to be at the bus station by 1710 because the next bus is at 1825.

So the timetable is virtually useless to all commuters in the three biggest towns on the route.
