Routes that interwork

[GeminiFan1991]

I suppose while we are on the topic, it might be worth discussing the operational benefits of Interworking and why certain routes are better of interworking as opposed to running to separate routes with their own vehicle requirements etc...

I reckon this would give many members here a better insight into the operations.

I would find this really interesting. First and Midland Red West used to do a lot of interworking in Kidderminster and Redditch.

Town services in Caerphilly interwork between one and another. For instance, a bus working on the A will go onto a trip on route B and vice versa. Buses on the F-which serves the estate I live on-interwork with either the C and D or E depending on the time they are running.

The purpose of interworking is to maximise the use of a driver and bus.  In other words, it is to save money basically.  For example, in Shrewsbury, routes 2 (Shrewsbury-Hawthorne Estate) and 12 (Shrewsbury-Kingswood Estate) interwork.  They both operate an hourly frequency.  The 2 is a 20 minute round trip, so to save a driver sitting around for 40 minutes, they drive the 12 which is a 40 minute round trip.

Not sure about the 18/19.  I did have a feeling that there was something in Stourbridge that interworked.

Can anybody tell me if it's the 28 shorts that interwork with the 10s? If so how does that work as the 10A is at 5 past with the 28 Halesowen also being at 5 past and the 10C being at 35 with the other 28 (shorts) also being at 35.

Pre virus timetable the XX08 28 off Merry Hill goes onto the XX35 10C, which goes onto the XY05 10A then does the XY35 28 short.

The 28 full journeys are standalone
