Both of the remaining Cadets were on the 32A today. BTW I haven't seen 2730 for the last couple of days has it been withdrawn?

Would love to know how today on the 89 early afternoon 2ish before schools finish, one arrived at the Airport 13 minutes late (fair enough you and I may normally say). It then went straight back out so was now only 5 minutes late leaving the Airport - Again fair enough. However by the time we got to Huyton it was now 11 minutes late, and by the the time got to St Helens was 18 MINUTES LATE, the next 1 was virtually behind us arriving in St Helens!

At First i thought might have just been the timetable, but the next one was spot on, as were all the others I checked on the app at that time.
How on earth can one driver make himself basically an extra 13 minutes late in both directions?!?!? And why would he want too! 13 minutes too the airport, then left 5 late, arrived 18 late at St Hel, so another 13 lost on that journey. God knows how late he got by the end of his shift!!

If a bus is late, it picks up extra passengers - those who reached the stops a bit early, expecting to catch the following bus. That takes extra time at each stop, so a late bus tends to get later & later. Meanwhile, the next bus picks up fewer passengers than normal -- many will have caught the late-running previous bus - and is able to gain time on the schedule.

4597 is on 320!!! Didn’t see if it’s Wigan or Ashton but definitely on 320.

Given Y474 post on Green Lane thread, I'd expect the same thing to St Helens Pulsars. 4597 also featured the ad for '7 days £15'.
