Also noticed that when Departing Park Lane that it took 73 the same amount of time as either 6099/6100 on the 56 to get to Concord, but despite that I still think the Service could be greatly improved.
It's being replaced by another company in the July changes. I'm surprised at 14 passengers being the most, didn't think it would be as many!
