As a company, they don't want to go round smacking in to cars, as it delays the service and leaves vehicles off the road. Also, the delays incurred in negotiating around badly parked cars can sometimes mean it just isn't worth it, as another bus can quickly catch up behind.
Avenue Viviene was the culprit apparently. Caused delays to the 71.
So when the 36 was introduced between Houghton and Chester, the omitted the estate (Missing out Murray Avenue which was where the problems actually were).
Still serve Avenue Viviene between Chester and Houghton.
It was the same around St Andrews Avenue in Donwell with the W4/5/6 back in the day too.
Dorset Avenue has had its issues too - 721/777 often got stuck. The 23 seems to get through though - just as it does in Donwell.
