Presumable people arriving on the No.50 Robin.

Two years ago when we had the D1 service about 10,000 passengers used it. This sounds a lot but was not enough for a viable service. When I used it most of the passengers were people who lived in Durlston. Now Durlston Castle is open there should be more passengers. Some could be people arriving at Swanage Station on the railway or on the No. 50 bus or visitors to Durlston who want to eat at Nick's restaurant rather than 7thwave.

Sounds awonderful service - can't wait to walk from Langton to Durlston along the coast, get the bus to Swanage and then another back to Langton.

I wonder how many of those expounding the value of the Durlston bus actually hand over any cash. From my experience most of those who use it travel for free with the extremely generous concessionary bus pass. Funded by the taxpayer.One does have different view on life if stuff is free.
