Not only that, but they have route branded buses for the X93/X94 and one of those routes advertised is withdrawn completely for a few months, where it needn't be.
The 63 going to every 15 minutes made me think back to when it was a flagship route, running every 7 or 8 minutes.
What happened to it, has the demand actually reduced that much over the years?
The highest frequency the 63 has ever had was every 9 minutes around 2007/8. Prior to that it was every 10 and has constantly stayed every 10. Once staffing issues subside it is expected to go back to every 10 - the 63 is also one of the few routes that in 2025 is more frequent than it was in the early 90’s!
