Least in the days of modern technology you know if it's going to turn up or not. So no matter how many letters you write to Nexus etc whining that this bus was 1 minute and 25 seconds late, it won't change a damn thing. Anything and everything can make a bus run late whether intentional or not. Just accept the fact it's something you cannot control and move on, trust me from my own experience it's less stressful.

Obviously we'll never know the answer but it'll be interesting to compare the differences from now to say 10 / 20 year ago. I know the 363/364/X24/X25 used to be absolutely notorious for bad timetabling back in the day and so was the 308.

Ironic because both are as bad as ever and it's the exact same places; South Gosforth / Peter Barratts / Corner House / Whitley Bay.
