But instead they decided to reduce the frequency from every 10 to 12 minutes to offset the delays. So not only was there no larger buses, there was fewer running too
The 6/7 still interwork on Sunday daytimes at Owton Manor and have done since Covid. It’s only on evenings when the 7 does the loop.
And the frequency reduction was indeed to help with the delays - instead of trying to find extra drivers and buses, use the existing resources to your advantage (plus gets people use to when they officially drop to every 12 minutes at the end of the month).
