(14 Feb 2016, 10:21 pm)John_R wrote In the local councillor's newsletter, Arriva had said that passengers numbers were up on the 19 and that the council & Arriva were happy with the service since it started to serve High Grange up to the roundabout.

(14 Feb 2016, 10:27 pm)Jimmi wrote I remember the outcry when they first changed the 19 to omit High Grange entirely and also passengers weren't happy about it no longer picking up on Northgate. Good to hear the service is now doing better, the improvement in allocations will have also probably helped.

1 point some drivers pick up the 19 while they are round there but other times they take the bus out of service to go round the other side of town to drop off and then come round the block again, why can't it just be simple as the bus comes in from doing a 1 and then goes straight on to the 19 instead of doing a loop of the town before it then comes back to northgate

There was a 15 branded Pulsar on 9/27 for most of the morning before being replaced at lunchtime.

You brand something because you want a customer to look out for that striking brand. So it's a poor and confusing customer experience to then go and shove it on another route to save a bit of cash. Not to mention that it's got the number of the route and destination points on the side of it!
