Easier for change overs.
And with the 9 going hourly I think the 9, 60, 61 will all interwork.
Looking at the 5/26 I do wonder if the changes could mean they’d both work independently.
Currently the 5 is too tight with a journey til just under an hour, save a few minutes and then it might be doable as two hour round trip - PVR of 4.
The 26 would then take longer but it currently takes around 1hr 5 at the moment. So if the 26 take part of the 5 route, it may end up working out as a 2hr30min round trip - PVR 5.
Although I concur, interworking the new 24 with the 5/26 might be what’s seen at GNE towers as the logical option and would certainly explain the split of the current 20. However I’m not sure an every 15 minute service really needs to interwork to be viable. The 24 I guess would be a PVR of 5. Would the 24,26,5 interworking reduce those PVR?
