Running early?

[Dom]

So what possible excuse could there be for a bus running early? Particularly from the start of the route (as per my 66 to work this morning, left at 07:37)
I ask as the response I got from the inspector was "his clock's probably different, they all run at different times"
!!!!
Surely that's a major problem if that was the case?

Alot of the wayfarers have different times to be fair bit if it's meant to be put down on the vcr

The tracking system has recorded it leaving at 7:39:31

When a vehicle is tracked, where is the time generated from?

GPS?

Yes

The tracking system has recorded it leaving at 7:39:31

So does that mean every other bus leaves 2 mins late then? Because it was definitely 07:37 by every other measurement of time

In the time between it leaving and my version of 07:40, I had time to walk up from the corner of Moor Street Queensway, watch it come back down the hill, argue with him that he was early, board the 65, ask the driver what time it was, go and query the incident with the inspector at the top and board the 65 again

I'd be willing to bet that the GPS has the bus as being stationary on the other side of the road at that particular time

It's not uncommon to have a wayfarer with the wrong time, I always check it when I get on
