The hot-shot thing happens everywhere. Especially here in Wales. You can travel along a main (ish) road with ribbon villages scattered along it and one of those villages has much better and newer street lighting and road signage than the others. That's where a county councillor lives. There's even a word for the mechanism behind it: the Tafia (compound of a nickname for a Welsh person, "Taffy," and "Mafia.") So yes, it's entirely conceivable that a bus route would be altered for the convenience of an individual. Services about 20 miles away were changed years ago: the changes didn't make sense and greatly inconvenienced those using the services (and especially those for whom the changed service was no longer useful). The only rational explanation was that the changes benefited an influential individual. -- Paul
