I thought be interesting to hear of tightly, or impossibly timed Coach or bus runs, i know a few down my area, which Tiverton and Exeter:
NatIonal Express
————————-
404 Taunton to Bridgwater and vv, 20 mins , with 10 mins Taunton-North Petherton,
106 the same as above,
404 around Torbay, both ways, think it has Totnes Paignton 12 mins,
404 around Bristol and bath and Chippenham,
Stagecoach
——————
55 etc Tiverton-Exeter which is about 35 mins and often seems run bit late,
The above runs can be done to timetable, but are very tightly timed, so need driver, to drive hard nosed, to keep to time, the worst I would say is Taunton-North Petherton , which at 10 mins, would be hard pushed to do in a car, let alone a coach.
Are there runs Coach or bus drivers dread doing, because they are really hard pushed to keep to the timetable? Or does one just chill out and get there when one gets there?
