I wonder why when 99% of the diamond trips I catch on the 226 are late!

Why's it so unreliable? The 4H only has 3 minute layover at Walsall and is no where near as often late as the 226

The route length
Holly Hall (Dudley bound)
Russells Hall Hospital (both ways)
Pensnett (both ways)
Crestwood School (merry hill bound)
Kingswinford (both ways)
Wordsley Cat (both ways)
Brierley Hill Road (Dudley bound)
Brierley hill (both ways)
Merry hill - asda island (Dudley bound)

Why can hansons stick to their timetable? The 4H is far longer and more problems and more reliable

Also it doesn't help with the hills half killing the solos meaning they struggle causing more delays

I need to go on this route, bet it would be on time if the mad drivers on the 142 drove it. They go seriously fast
