Quite common. Bus services have been changed in and around Milton
Keynes at times when car-dependent residents have complained about
them.

Apparently, the "play toy" Routemaster running round Monkston was
complained about in this way, though its withdrawal was down to its
owner not wanting to play buses any more rather than just the
complaints. Thing is, a Routemaster (or an OPO version of such) would
be ideal for the MK estate services due to the short and narrow
wheelbase - I think they're smaller than some of the "LWB" Merc
Beavers.
