Having said that, it is not ideal having the 41 & 419 on the same stands as the numbers are similar; in the past both served Crowhill, but now they go in opposite directions from Ashton. Both are tendered services, so unless the punctuality issue is identified, neither will be changing at the October change date, and AFAIK, no commercial changes have been registered involving Ashton.

the 41 / 419 dont have any issues with punct. the only issue is the 41 arr to offload at the same time the 419 is due out. drivers have been adv to alight on other stands to alievieate this problem.
the only stand problem atm is n stands departures bunching up with
335 **05
339 **10
395 **15
317 **30
339 **40
396 **45
345 **49
so there is often bunching of 335 (if driver changing) 339 395 05,10,15 then again half hour later with 40,45,49 hopefully the 395/6 will get relocated to maybe c stand (this being the quietest)
