there's certainly a drop off in standards and it’s getting worse. Odd allocations are just signs of managed decline and poor management in general.
Versa allocations on the 21 are just poor but the alternative is filthy, slow dingy ex London stock. Capacity, yes, experience no. Even the remaining streetdecks with torn leather seats, ripped bare tables and chronic unreliability don’t add much.
The X39 an alleged premium commuter experience is woeful. Afternoon allocations tend to run off scholars and of course the bus is trashed, these are the passengers you want to attract out of their cars but one afternoon run on the x39 puts you off for life
