Where do you see possible bus extensions for your local network or other places that you know of?
X53 Exeter-Poole Express (First)
I would extend from Poole to Bournemouth, maybe the train station for a backup route if the SWML faulters, and this would allow for more connections as a result.
A Plymouth extension may be worth considering, and who said the X53 had to serve solely the Jurassic Coast?
31 Axminster-Weymouth local (First)
I would extend to Taunton on the Axminster side and Portland on the Weymouth side, to start a more frequent service using spare stock caused by merging with the 30 Axminster-Taunton and 10 Dorchester-Portland.
31 Preston-Lea via Savick (Preston Bus)
I would split the bus into two, 31 and 32, the 32 being a peak-only service to Salwick BNFL and the 31 extending to Clifton, freeing up a need for the 68 to serve Clifton, this would lower journey times but I would still run a couple a day down Clifton to allow people to still access Blackpool and the area.
These are my ideas, make sure yours are viable and it will be okay from there onwards. It will be interesting to see what you come up with.
