The timetable was unrealistic today and they knew the football was on so there's no excuses. Not sure how busy they were either but only having a 15 minute service before and after the game is stupid aswell.

I was on the 23 after the game and coming out of Dene Estate I saw 2 GNE deckers together - both standing room only.
