Beware of the early running stats, however...

It is not always 'early' running that is shown, but it could be very 'late'
running...

For example:

30 min frequency
Bus a is running 25 minutes late, therefore will be picked up in stats as
running early (as for the passenger at the stop arriving 4 mins before
advertised departure time, they will see the back of a bus, and presume it
is running early!)..

Low frequency routes are all about running to time, and therefore, the best
service control could be to hold buses that are running excessively late, to
run them on the time of the next trip, which will result in one set of
passengers being delayed, but the next set not being becuase to all intents
and purposes, the bus has run on time...

So my impression that Metroline's low-frequency 305 often runs early
might not be an illusion then!

Interesting...
