VERY Late running services

[Jack]

Not exactly a very late running service then?

Valid, not exactly late when I boarded but it was late by the time I got off, but that's purely because it went via Dale End instead of St Chads.

That's because they're using the Dale End diversion. Drivers have no choice.

3 ☓21s leaving City within the space of a few mins after a long wait, surprised they all still said Woodcock Hill. All of them seem to be affected though including the 61/63.

AVL must be busy. One x22 was 40 minutes late the other 17. None got adjusted. Driver of the 17 minutes late one was going to be RTA'd very soon he said. The 40 minute late one had a quick fag at terminus and has now gone back to Birmingham. Poor guy

No X22 has been 40 minutes late, which bus are you referring to

The one that arrived at field lane at 18:25. It was the branded one followed by an unbranded one

OK, so here is why your postings are ignored

6889 arrived at the outer terminus 33 minutes late, but has 25 minutes recovery time there, so only left 10 minutes late back to city. It also has some recovery time in city. The 17 minutes late one, 6840 one arrived and ran back to garage as scheduled so why would either of these have mileage deleted and not got passengers home who were on the buses.

Well the driver of 6889 offered to have passengers of the other one because he was near the end of his legal hours

It was tight, but driver did get back to garage within his legal driving time, so correct decision was made

@Tony , a question if I may. We all know about drivers hours and that there not allowed to go over, what happens, say for example, in snow, where roads have become blocked and the route journey might take a lot longer than normal. Obviously a driver can't park a bus at the side of the road and leave it, is there something written in the regulations to take account for this. Sorry if this question has been asked before.
