I have to say though, once we had a driver change over at Durham, the driver was hell bent on making up time. We were 14L out of Durham in the end, and he'd made 8 minutes of that up by the time I got off at Coxhoe.
I like it when drivers try, and actually care about being on time. I don't actually understand why drivers drive slowly and get late on purpose, it's of no benefit to them, at least if they drive fast they might have a little bit of fun.
I got 7524 from Ashington to Bedlington as part of my outing on Saturday, he was 6 late three stops after the bus station because of traffic lights, but had more than halved that by Bedlington, even with stopping at most stops, by the time I got off downstairs was pretty much full.
