Im expecting changes to happen in June, by which i hope we will find out more about the 80 buses GNE have ordered.
The fact that the 39 serves what... 4 schools along its route?
On mornings I know it's hell - I get whichever bus (16/2A/2C/8/78 etc) comes first, but sometimes the 39 is the one that does come first and it's always far too packed. On afternoons when everyone gets out at the same time, I could only imagine it gets worse.
More and more recently lately, the 39 has seen usage of "Northern" vehicles. Perhaps GNE are coming to terms with the fact it needs a vehicle with a larger seating capacity!
If there were to be some changes, I'd expect that the service would get some larger vehicles and also it would gain a higher frequency (15 mins as opposed to 20?) - only time will tell, as always!
