RE: Howards/Springfield
On the new timetables, scheduled for April, the PVR is 4 (for the E1/2), with 2 vehicles being 27 capacity and 2 vehicles being 35 capacity.

In terms of passenger numbers, bizarrely, there was a 50pence difference in revenue between the last 2 months which shows a regular client base.

In terms of capacity.... is that seats or total capacity? The Radbroke hall passengers are spread over a couple of journeys in the afternoon so its not too bad, though i am aware that around 0900 it is very busy.

The service won't go hourly as i believe our predecessors on the route tried that and we know how that fairytale ended.
It is a very successful service and i believe this is a benefit of a modern vehicle, being reliable and having 2 regular drivers who have helped make that difference to the regular passengers , plus encouraged old passengers who had lost faith in the service, to come back.

I also believe our fares are currently cheaper than when it was commercial, though i stand to be corrected.
