Bustimes but looks like the ticket machine may now be in 5402.

The route can take a diversion if needed.

I did check on Bustimes that it had taken it's booked route before popping out to actually see it.

6181 tracking on Xlines services on GNE site and bus times, not sure if its just a ticket machine swap.

726 operated a tightly squeezed X39 at 5.05 yesterday out of Cobalt

the loads (or lack of) heavily delayed the double decker operated 22X which picked up the slack

That is ridiculous, talk about literally giving customers away to the competition
