I've been under said Bridge on a Gemini and it was a very tight squeeze.
Has anyone seen what loads are like Washington bound on the 2's since their move away from Park Lane?
I have never used the service eastbound since the changes as Park Lane suits me better and gives better choice/alternatives.
I wondered if I was in the minority or if people are commiting to getting it from the on street stops.

(14 Feb 2016, 7:13 pm)Michael Ye, they seem to be steady although it depends on time of the day and what day it is, i normally see them around 4pm-5pm on a evening and they can get quite busy, this is from the Holmeside stop, not sure on the winter gardens one.
(14 Feb 2016, 7:39 pm)BusLoverMum I expect that it picks up more people who live on the route, rather than those specifically travelling to the galleries.

I'm 50/50 on the colours, not sure if it suits the Scania or not.

(14 Feb 2016, 8:06 pm)S813 FVK I'm a real fan of the new livery both on the MPDs and the 5210. No doubt will look even better once the Solos arrive and branding is applied.

(14 Feb 2016, 7:58 pm)Andreos1 If I ever walk up Holmeside, I have always said I would get it if it was there or approaching.
Never seen it yet.
My thoughts exactly, but if going as far as the hospital are you better off going to Park Lane or waiting for a 2?
As far as Barnwell or Shiney?
It is the only option for people travelling beyond those points (unless they're off to.the Galleries) and then there is the 8.

(14 Feb 2016, 9:17 pm)BusLoverMum Off the top of my head, there's the see it do it (35 or 36, can't remember) and the 78 which pass the hospital, from Park Lane, at the very least. Whichever option it's worth taking to go that far probably largely depends on whether you're traveling on from another service, which one it is and so on.
