Scholars?The thing with the 65, is they are so tightly timed and have a reduced capacity they're always late, every day 15-30 minutes late. Today the 16:25 to Seaham was running 20 minutes late like they do every day, and there was either 729/730 waiting for that bus to arrive, so why didn't the driver just bring another bus and just run the route on time? Is it so hard to give the 65 changeover drivers an actual bus to run a service on time? It's just common sense.
XLINES Citaro 5328 seems to have ended up on 65s according to bus times. Another day whereby the 65 was suffering excessive delays of up to 25 minutes. A family member says a friend waited for 15 minutes after it was due for a 65 before eventually giving up.
Like Look, 65's constantly run with a delay, you would think whoever in charge at Depford would think, oh let's send them with another bus as more than likely the 65 is going to be late, we can improve customer satisfaction and experience by actually running a 65 on time for once. It's not rocket science, all you need is a few brain cells.
