Apologies if this has been previously discussed; does anybody know why 4973's branding for the X35 was changed at some point from 'every 30 minutes' to 'every 60 minutes'. I'm certain this route has been essentially the same since 2006!

Evening James, welcome to the forum. At a guess, I'd suggest it's to do with the X36's reduction in frequency from every 30 minutes to hourly, even though the branding only applies to the X35 on 4973, as the locations listed are only served by the X35 and not the X36. Bizarre nevertheless. I'd put it down to some confusion from the vinyl appliers when the bus was being rebranded or some vinyls were being replaced.
