The fact they kept on bussing people to EDI and back for months meant there was a demand. If it was such a weak route they would not have gone to that length or forked out the expense of keeping AMS and EDI slots nor would they have provided the transport or refreshments for the affected passengers. They would have simply cancelled the offer of DND-AMS altogether and refunded the money.
