X46/X45 get busy at it is, X1 every 30 mins on a Saturday every bus will be rammed. Tbh I think services which run every 10-15 mins normally will be okay. However it is the half hourly services, e.g 78/47/47A/50.
They should have made special timetables imo for the 47/47A/X45/X46/78/X1/X70/1/2. Lets not forget about the Newcastle match, services are already busy enough as it is then reduce the frequencies even more.
How much more can they reduce frequencies, before people just turn off buses.
