Nobody else is stupid enough to do it so it's always empty!Is there any GNE service which has regressed as much as the x66 over the last decade or so, because I can't think of one?
The X66 is an awful experience, the capacity is far too low, especially during peak times. It's not uncommon to have to wait until the next one because the queue is too long
It used to be treated as their flagship route with the articulated buses and loads of marketing about it being non stop and connecting to loads of other services etc. Now it has buses on it that aren't suitable for the route because of the capacity, isn't non stop and doesn't get "plugged" very much GNE.
Why has it declined so much?
