35 Minute Frequency

[Ianigsy]

The Sunday service on First WY's X84 between Leeds and Ilkley went to 35 minutes a year or two ago - it's particularly irritating when arriving in Leeds by train from elsewhere as it means checking every time whether the bus or the train is best for me.
The weekday evening service is just plain weird and has some 70 minute gaps after 9pm, with which the running information screens in the stops can't cope so revert to "Please refer to time table".

Stagecoach south east Folkestone depot maintain hourly frequencys very well by interworking routes - the 10/17/70 are all inter worked even through the 10 and 17 go to completely different places
The 10 has a return time and of about 3 and a half hours and the 17 has one of 2 and a half. This is also good as when there are delays on the 10 - most journeys from Folkestone will start on time - even if the bus coming in is running 30+ minutes late.

Also, buses like the 103 which only carry about 10 people per journey (pvr 1 off peak only) is run by a dd because it’s ised on the 17/953 to Canterbury in the morning and the 10A to Willesborough in the afternoon which often get full with a dd
