Living close to Freeport, sorry Junction 32 cant get used to the new name, I would of thought it would go via Junction 32, as the service/s it replaces do. But you never know with the buses around here, wait till september time they will be reorganised again.
Shame about the Ackworth - Doncaster bus going too.

If only someone did that to MASS here. Why can't there be a Doncaster-Wakefield express? It can be done in an hour.

sorry edited bit out of message about 409 competing with the south yorkshire motors service, I was being very cynical and of course that wouldnt be why they have altered that service.

Easy 2 - 4 trains per hour half of which are none stop simply wouldn't be sufficent demand for the service. However on the Wakefield point considering that SYM are based at Ackworth maybe some sort of Doncaster - Askern - Ackworth - Pontefract/Wakefield service may be in their favour?
