The message coming from the 50 branding seems similar to the message of the 55 branding: "We operate early mornings, late nights & Sundays, others don't", the new branding seems like a retaliation to TGB's new 50 timetable

To be honest, TGB start early enough in the morning, think the first 50 leaves MS at 6:33 if I remember correctly?

Blimey, didn't realise it was that early, that's nearly as early as the 9!

I remember hearing about one route which had a frequency of "every 1-2 minutes", with a ridiculously high PVR, 3 figure number I think

So even with 4 operators (if you count Johnsons X50) the 50 still isn't even the most frequent route in the UK now that does suprise me.
On a side note who are TGB "attacking", NXWM or Diamond. Every time I see TGB they're in front of Diamond rather than NX.

That does seem to be the case, they usually seem to be one miniute infront of Diamond

That was definitely the case when the 50 was every 15 minutes as they were timed at near enough the same minute as Diamond (1 or 2 minutes ahead I think). Not so sure now they are every 10 though.
