An intelligent Rail Replacement system would have, defined in the
contract, a limited number of additional non-railway-station stops, at
existing major transport interchanges, where such existed on the best
route from station to station or another route almost as good. The
stops would be chosen to maximise the expected overall customer
satisfaction.

But wouldn't necessarily include the corner of Roland's road.

In the first case I was thinking about, it probably would, because the
obvious place for an additional stop would be the one in the middle of the
village served by the station.

In the second case (East Midlands Parkway to Nottingham bustitution) I
don't see why it would be unreasonable to have the bus stop at the same
limited number of places as the old "Skylink" bus to the airport. Those
were presumably chosen for a reason. As it happens, one of those was near
my house.

In BOTH cases you had (presumably) purchased a ticket to ther station. And
that is where you were delivered. Contract satisfied. No problem.
