The 43, 44, 45, 51, 52 and 53 timetables are all very wrong. The right timetables are on Traveline now though for anyone who actually needs them.
Judging by the timetables the 51 is essentially going to replace the withdrawn 54 journeys within the 52/53/54 interworking pattern. So the PVR will remain the same (excluding losing a bus for the temporary change to the 53).
It'll be interesting to see what they have planned for the 55 as part of me thinks if they were gonna withdraw it, why not just go ahead and do it now alongside the 46. Equally, they must be intending to increase it back to every 20 minutes otherwise they wouldn't say it's been revised to 30 minutes because of the driver shortage, they'd just say it's revised like the 54.
