"Service rerouted inbound via the A1231 & Burdon Road rather than City Hall to assist reliability. Minor changes to am and pm peak journeys to improve reliability." (20 has already been doing that route since the end of October so they're just making it permanent)

"Minor changes to journeys during pm peak and also between the 1800-1930hrs period to provide additional reliability."

Although its not really helping reliability, the 20s often end up running in 2s (as they have been since 10am this morning). I do agree its a better route through the city centre though. One day last week there was 3 out of the 4 buses running together!
