Most services are cut to the bone now, so even one bus missing has a big impact on others, but in a different way.True I suppose now, where as in the past of services every 10/12 mins, a missing 4/X1/56/60/58/1/96/97 wouldn't have created that much of an impact three years ago, but now everything just hits the fan
Hourly services obviously leave a huge timetable gap.
An X1 missing from the timetable leaves a smaller gap, but a bigger knock-on impact due to the volumes using it.
You can easily add the Metro to that too. My evening Metro was missing last night, meaning there was a gap in timetable and a very busy Metro. The knock on being that I missed my connecting bus.
