(16 Apr 2024, 6:37 pm)Ex-conductor wrote I had a problem with the 306 today; the bus I went for didn't turn up and the next one, due 20 minutes later, was 12 minutes late. I got off the bus at St. Mary's Place, and there was another 306 immediately behind. On my return journey at the Haymarket the departure board was showing a 306 due in 3 minutes. It didn't show, so I used the 308 instead. Then on the Coast Road I noticed a 306 ahead of the 308. Departed too early from the Haymarket?? It's ironic that Arriva have recently increased the frequency on a number of their services, and they have introduced new services, yet they don't have the capacity to run them efficiently. I wish they would just pack in altogether and allow a more competent company to take over.

Doesn't surprise me one bit that. There's been a few times here where one of the X7's has left Haymarket 25 minutes late, happens all the time due to traffic for them to run an empty bus in and run it on time on the board behind for them to follow each whereas everything is cancelled, just horrible allocating of things.

Doesn't help the timetables are too tight either mind.
