Maybe the sort of ideas that would justify their job roles and salaries?
Starting to wonder what it is they're actually paid to do.
A big question I think is for Bank Holidays post any cuts, especially Good Friday when services are normally very busy.
Even those services that aren't that busy on a Sunday are busy on a Bank Holdiay - or example, I spent 45 minutes in CLS just after 1200 today and the 34 was very busy in both directions, and the 25 had quite a few on when it arrived just before 1300.
If the 34, for example, doesn't have a Sunday service post 24th July will GNE provide a service on Bank Holidays? there certainly seemed enough passengers travelling to cover the cost of operation.
Even the 21 (on its current 12-minute frequency) was very busy, with long gaps in service - how will it cope when it's every 15 minutes on Sundays/Bank Holidays?
A rethink of Bank Holdiay frequencies and running times required, I think.
