A lot of times in the morning, on match days, or when there’s other incidents on the redheugh it is much faster.  The flip side is that if there’s something on at the arena it’s a waste of time.  10 services now are apparently constantly late due to high loadings and are often full and leaving passengers behind before they’ve left Newcastle, same when they unload and leave the metrocentre leaving passengers behind for destinations further along the route.  Centrelink used to give us a fighting chance of getting some time back in these cases, no chance now.  You could see the traffic on the bridge if it was thereacoupleofplaces coming along the teams and dip into the centrelink if possible.  The hills really aren’t a bother for a bus that’s working relatively normally, or I never had a problem with it anyway.
