The bottom line is this, however good, or poor the service, reducing the uplift operating times reduces the service that you get.
Some will finish before the day finishes regardless, they will be unaffected
Some will want to ride non-stop all day and get in as many runs as possible, that will be fewer, regardless if they were capable of 20 runs or 6 runs in a day.
Others will take their time a bit, space out their runs to keep fresh doing the same number over longer, they will get less chance to rest, or fewer runs.
Some will have a mechanical, and want the time to catch up on their value for money
They sell lots of tickets, and run lots of busses (esp at the weekend) compared to the competition so they must be doing something right, even if its just the marketing!
TBH it wouldn’t upset me if more and more people started using the other excellent uplift venues around the country, I am sure they would welcome the business, and if it encourages them, and even new venues because people start looking elsewhere, then great.
vote with your feet, if you still think BPW is good value for what you get and are happy, go there, if not, go somewhere else!
Personally, I have always been a bit frustrated at how slow the uplift is at BPW, as said above there feels like there’s quite a bit more dead time than other places.
Its towards the more expensive end of the uplift venues (if not the most) but it does have many trails.
I prefer other venues, but still go there as others I ride with love it, maybe we will get to go other places more often
