New PVR's
- X30/X31/X45 - PVR 8
- X71/X72 - PVR 5
Now yes there'd need to be remote reliefs at Stanley for the X30/X31 and the X45 & 47 wouldn't be a 'perfect' 15 minute frequency although still at least a 10/20 headway, but if GNE had've went with the following interworking patterns, the combined PVR for the X30/X31/X45/X71/X72 would've been reduced by a further 1x to 12x vehicles.
- X30/X31 - 3x
- X45/X71/X72 - 9x
And as such, by having remote reliefs at Stanley (adding in c.40 mins of paid time on each relief plus the cost of fuel in a Volvo B7 doing 5mpg), you’ve cost the business more than they’d pay to run one extra bus on this cycle.
Even though Andreos has made his views on bus company commercial teams pretty clear, I assume this is the type of thing they keep in mind when making changes.
