(27 Aug 2023, 12:15 am)F114TML wrote I just did a backshift on the Ecos tonight. Constantly chasing my time, and the bus wasn't particularly sluggish either. E6 I found the best, E1 was the worst, E2 was ok. Should point out the E1 is a lot busier than the others even at night.

The daytime timetable is about to get worse though. The extra summer bus is coming off soon and the previous running boards, you got in some cases (mainly on sundays but still) a whole 4 minutes to get from the wheatsheaf, down john street, up fawcett street, load up and depart.

I think this is a problem right across the networks. The people who put the route and timetable down on paper, are highly unlikely to be able to achieve it themselves if they were behind the wheel.

I don't use those Es all too frequently, but every time I do they tend to be busy from each end. The bus shouldn't need to be turbo-charged to keep to timetable.

Most of the day, that 2 operates with an extra 13 minutes than it does on an evening. I know there's less traffic in most places, but you still have to content with Green Terrace and the same traffic lights.
