The Arnison Centre is the biggest headache though as it's constantly busy at Christmas time so unless you give a lot of padding then it just messes everything up and it's at the wrong end of the route to regulate.
Not sure what the answer is really for GoNorthEast as nothing really works on it but I could understand why someone in Langley Park would be pissed off because the X20 got regulated and cut short (which does happen from time to time) and the next one isn't for 30 minutes.
Hit the nail on the head about that!
If GNE mess with the X5/X15, they are leaving a wide open gap IMO for a competitor to provide a faster service.
If the X5/X15 were performing poorly, GNE would've changed them during previous major changes which involved route cuts / mergers.
