Default What is the 969 bus for?

Why? It even has a Facebook group commenting on its infrequency.

Given the absence of such strategically vital bus links as the N213,
presumably there is a really good reason for the 969 to exist - but what
is it?

It's one of the handful of remaining "Mobility Bus" routes, which have
now been mostly phased out following the introduction of "low floor"
buses on most routes.


So is there a specific need for wheelchairs (is that what it in effect
means?) to use that route on those days?
