Quote from: 2206 on September 30, 2022, 06:07:30 PMCaught 6881 this morning on the X21 towards Woodgate big crowd waiting for it at Priory Queensway, left with full seated load. At Moor Street Station, left half the passengers behind and rammed to the brim with standing passengers. Drove past serveral several following stops with large crowds waiting including New Stret Station, Ernest Street, etc.
It emptied at University North Gate and then again University Station.




Pretty much all of the buses I've caught since the kids have gone back to school and subsequently the students have been at least 3/4 full and quite often completely full - not just to Uni Station either. I've also seen various buses skip stops because they're too full. I don't see why the X21/X22 can't be every 15 mins at peak times to be honest, in both directions. The 6-7 min frequency they had with the X20 worked fine, every 10 mins as it is now isn't working.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Not really by much though. And the PM peak is only in one direction for 30 mins.
Similarly with the AM peak, a brief window and only in one direction thanks to two short workings on the X21.

No 20:45 94 to Chelmsley tonight.

The 21:00 95 6844 started there and the daytime buses 4899 & 4929 went back to the garage.

5502 also debranded. Wonder why though, as unlike the platinums I don't think these ever run on anything else other than the 61 & 63 normally.

I'm a bit surprised we didn't see a return of Pershore Road branding to be honest. It's likely that they'll very rarely stray from the 45/47 anyway.
