1: BSIP funded service enhancement, with services operating up to every 7/8 minutes between Coach Lane Campus and South Benwell, extending to either Buddle Road or Slatyford up to every 15 minutes. Evening and Sunday services also uplifted commercially, up to every 15 minutes.
30/31/36: BSIP funded service enhancement, with Monday to Saturday services to operate up to every 15 minutes, combining to operate up to every 7/8 minutes on combined sections of Service 30 and 31. No changes to evening and Sunday journeys.
Basically returning to what they were a few years ago. I’m sure the regular BSIP whiner on this forum will have something to say about it and I don’t think there will enough Yutongs to operate the enhanced 30/31/36 given the numbers ordered only covered the pre-existing PVR. I’m guessing the uplift on the number 1 is the real reason the additional E400MMCs have arrived from Manchester, too.
