Part of the 'joy' in going for a 4 under its current timetable, is not having a clue what time it will turn up or if the one you board is the one you went for or an earlier one running late.
Part of the 'joy' of the upcoming timetable will be trying to work out whether or not it's due at 20past, 24past, 17past or 21past - it being all dependent on which number on the clock the little hand is pointing to.
10:20, 11:24, 12:17 or 13:21
Currently, those runs are due at: 10:21, 11:21; 12:21 and 13:21.
Assuming passengers are after a connection to another service, plans may need to be made to accommodate the difference in the range of times. Possibly aiming for the 11:13 rather than the 11:24 (or 11:21 as it is currently).
The 60 does the same thing. Busy routes such as these are hard to keep to time, so adding time in where it's needed I don't think is a bad thing. It's not hard for a passenger to look at the times on a bus stop and look at their watch/phone, hopefully now it might arrive closer to the time it says at the stop, so I don't see the problem.
