The idea of most services running a Sunday timetable on a Saturday effectively halving the capacity on busy runs like the 20 & X1 is certainly not an attractive concept to me and those that faced the issues from this today will most likely come to the same conclusion for as long as this goes on for and maybe even a permanent mindset for not using public transport to many.
Oh absolutely and, while ultimately the driver is at fault for carrying over the limit, the drivers are being put in these situations by people who don't have the first idea what dealing with the public can be like.
Mind, I can't get my head around how they didn't forsee this and plan in duplicates. You're cutting service level from Saturday to Sunday, which I'd imagine is a reasonably significant cut in drivers rostered to work - surely they can't be that short?
