The 18:05 222 left Russell's.  Hall Post Office at 18:03

That isn't a 'timing point' so the driver is not running early. If that is towards Merry Hill he is due to leave Russell's Hall Hospital at 18:01 (left 18:02) and Swan Street 18:06 (left 18:06) so bus is on time

OK That was bus 828 which the system has recorded as being at Church of St Barnabus (just before the Post Office) at 18:04:33, looks pretty good timekeeping by the driver to me!

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

A Stagecoach Nuneaton driver once departed Nuneaton Bus Station on his 9  5 minutes early after mis-reading his running card but realised his mistake as he left the stand, rather than reversing (of course you're not allowed), he went to roundabout as you exit the bus station and came straight back in and onto the stand again. He still got booked by the inspector for it though!

imo, running early is worse than running late, especially on infrequent services!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Take away 999 and you get the only two minus elaboration. Passengers and traffic. 1001 people would never believe it though

What about vehicle breakdown as another.

But as has been said, early running, only one reason, driver incompetence!

Think about it, there could be another reason, incorrectly written running board!
