I've seen a number of rather late running 99/36 buses over the past few days, including 831 running 30 minutes late today on the 99, another late yesterday as well and a 494X running 30 minutes late at about 17:15 on the 36 towards Sparkhill.
I have heard the drivers saying that with the current timetable, its impossible to run on time.
