I waited 25 minutes from 14:55 for an "E" bus to turn up at Fawcett Street and two E6's turned up at once and 36464 drove past "Not in Service" at the same time. When I got on one of the E6's, which was operated by 37308, the driver told another passenger that there were three "E" busses in the bus station.

Several of the people waiting at the bus stop got fed up after 20 minutes and got the 20 (GNE Prince Bishops) instead.

Yet the timetable suggests it's PVR 2 summer and 1 in the winter
