And reduce the frequencies, i think it'll also help with reliability.
As long as the Monday to Friday 6:14am and 6:44am journey from Springwell to the City Centre run, as they currently run as the 23.... i don't care about the changes!
I would expect the 4 and 16 to follow in dropping to every 12 minutes.
I think we will see the 18 reduced even more, (dare i mention the GNE X3 service), i just can't see how its still making some sort of profit!
