Fortunately for me, it is not my job to come up with solutions to these problems - nor was I criticising those who were. That said, I have enough first hand industry experience to know a badly thought out solution - such as trying to make a full double decker worth of people fit onto an already loaded Pulsar. I feel it should have been clear in my post but, for avoidance of doubt, I think the operations staff in this instance are doing the best they can with the changing situation and thus I don't need to come up with a 'better solution'!
And here's me not realising that every X93 is decker operated and it's always full to capacity.
Silly me.

At the end of the day, the route is closed due to an emergency situation and these things happen. In the last 48 hours there has been talk of emergency evacuation plans for residents on that corridor. The last thing emergency services need are public buses on the road as well.
It's not throwing in the towel or giving customers a bad service. It's just sometimes sh1t happens and as a passenger you just have to lump it sometimes. This is one of those rare occasions.
But what about all those workers needing to start their shifts at hospital?
