When the kids are off, more people have holidays or work at home because of childcare so this time of year always has vastly reduced passenger numbers compared to the rest of the year.

September I think is when we can compare apples with apples in terms of bus usage unless someone is able to offer 'summer timetables' vs now comparison.

I think it will be a gradual thing. I don’t see things suddenly picking up in September once the kids are back at school. As I driver I’ve noticed a trickle of an increase in passenger numbers but still nothing like what it was. I honestly think things will remain quiet till Christmas or even into next year.
