One evening once, the 37 I got home got from Auckland Road in Sparkbrook to Acocks Green village in 11 minutes - due to a combination of late-running, light traffic and few passengers. The timetable has been loosened now, so it shows as normally taking 22 minutes, but it did used to be a bit less than that.

EDIT: this was on an OmniLink by the way!

Yes, the X51 on a Bank Holiday Monday. 25 minutes for the whole route!

I've done the last 11C between Acocks Green and Perry Barr in 45-50 minutes. Left Acocks Green at 2330ish, arrived at Perry Barr at 0019. Was around 25-30mins late. Wow that was a fun experience. Nobody on board at all. My traffilog score on that day must have been terrible.

It was a late night 72 when VIP operated it, that I did City Centre to Saltley Gate in 5 minutes.

Fastest journey by bus has to be Leeds to Glasshoughton Station on Stagecoach Hull's X62,

Journey time on the 17:30 departure from Leeds = 18 mins for a journey of 15.5 miles!

Comparing this with the same journey by car, Google estimates this would take 26-45 mins, by the same route i.e. M62!

Even Rail is slower at 23 mins, making the bus the fastest mode of transport!

Does that go via bus-only roads then or something?
