I understand an additional peak journey can operate in the peak direction as a result of the change. It coincided with a change of operator from First to Metroline (operating out of Holloway garage) with an allocation of 19 vehicles, and actually represents an *increase* of 4 vehicles (5 on Saturdays, 7 on Sundays). Sorry but the allocation with First was 19 M-F, 18 Sat and 14 Sun. *The info I have seen for Metroline is 19 MF, 19 Sat and 17 Sun so the scale of increase is smaller that you've stated with none on MF. I think the change may also have to do with congestion in the bus station. Stop E at Euston is not in the best spot for services heading south down Southampton Row, as the buses have to cross the buses heading towards King's Cross. I think that it got especially bad after the 59 was extended to King's Cross, as that was an extra route getting in the way at the bus station. I've noticed quite a thinning out of services that use the bus station in the south or west bound direction over the years. I think partly down to the bendy buses (73 used to come in) and partly due to more frequent services on the remaining routes. Did the 168 ever serve the bus station, or did it always stay on Eversholt Street? |
