Especially with slow MMC's being allocated on weekends. Evening and Sundays you only get 28 minutes each way with a 2-3 minute sit at either end, and bare in mind the last two trips from Four Lane Ends are an extra 2 minutes longer having to serve BT Call Centre where nobody gets on (and BT actually fund the 18 to serve the roundabout on the last two trips for their invisible cleaners to get home).Checks with it being a Nexus route. 939 was the same (plenty of time to do Team Valley - Waterview Park but when you got there you had to strap jet engines to the bus if you wanted to be at Sunderland on time) and apparently it's the same story on the 594 in the Castletown area (not done that one yet). Ironically though the 99 had way too much time, not sure that's changed.
