Isnt it about time interworking diagrams where phased out though , that way you can keep delays locked into individual routes and not transport them from one route to another .

How does Stagecoach manage to keep there side of the 471/2 QBP work on route whilst Arriva's is split between the 407/71/72.

The 407 is a good example, as if it didn't interwork, there would only be 1 minute layover in Liverpool, which just isn't enough slack for a cross-river route ... either that or 21 minutes, which would be inefficient.

As far as the % on time figures are concerned, it would make sense to keep delays on just one route to limit the number of vehicles running behind time, but my own preference would be to 'even out' the delays spread over a number of routes by interworking so that everything is a little late rather than some things being massively out and some others being right on time.

And from an enthusiast's point of view, I like working out what interworks with what!
