Quote from: Gareth on October 11, 2024, 11:02:25 PMI use late night 14/94/95. They're all generally fine. A fair few months old single tickets being used as daysavers and 'phone battery dead' excuses, but nothing extraordinarily bad.

Same with every route that is at night. I just don't think I could drive down Alum Rock Road yet, seems very daunting.

Have drove coaches down there in the past, it's an experience I tell you that much

How long have X2 and X12 interworked for? Wouldn't it make sense for the X12 and X13 to interwork?

Interworking is done to save resources, not because it would be nice to do.

It was trailed in the summer holidays, and since the October change Sundays have the X2/X12 interwork and the X13 run solo (as that only needs 2 buses at a time on Sundays)

Main issue is people walking into the road without noticing, and the cars parked on both sections of the road doesn't help but also adds more doubt
